"Enter: The Rattler" introduces a serpentine menace in Zip Comics #11, a 1941 10-cent comic from Archie, as Twisto dons a scaled, bulletproof costume and takes on the identity of The Rattler. With art and story by Joe Blair and Charles Biro—whose distinctive inks define the cover and interior—the issue pits a disguised Steel against a new threat, culminating in a dramatic rescue by Inferno as the Rattler's poison needles close in.
