The Death Ray

A one-shot from N.S.W. Bookstall in 1940, The Death Ray is a wartime Australian comic that delivers a brisk, pulpy thriller centered on a scientist's destructive invention. The title captures the era's fascination with super-science and espionage, offering a snapshot of local comic publishing during World War II. While brief, it stands as a curiosity for collectors of early Australian comics and pre-superhero adventure strips.
