Wonderworld Comics #6

In "The Arson Ring of Mr. Crass," Will Eisner and Bob Powell deliver a gripping early tale from Wonderworld Comics #6, a 1939 10-cent comic that marks a standout entry in the era’s pulp-inspired adventures. The story follows Yarko and Li Wan as they journey to Tibet in search of the legendary Hoshai Plant, a rare flower said to contain human blood, only to be captured by Lailani and her coven of vampiresses. With hypnotic powers at his disposal, Yarko must confront Lailani in a battle of wills that tests both mind and resolve. Lou Fine’s dynamic cover art captures the story’s eerie tension, making this a must-have for collectors of early comic book mystique.
