How Money Goes Up in Smoke

Ken Bald's sole-issue series for General Comics, How Money Goes Up in Smoke (1950), is a single, self-contained cautionary tale from the dawn of the atomic age. This one-shot combines Bald's clean, illustrative style with a straightforward premise, likely exploring the ephemeral nature of wealth or the dangers of inflation. As a standalone comic from a lesser-known publisher, it offers a curious snapshot of post-war economic anxieties filtered through the medium's early years.
