The King Faraday lead story from DC’s
Danger Trail #1 (1950) begins with a reference to a popular 1948 movie,
Sorry, Wrong Number. Here’s an ad for the movie, taken from
Life magazine:
The story that follows is as unlikely as the plot of the movie that King complains about, but is entertaining in its pulpish way. When you get through the overcooked first person narrative and snappy dialogue there is even a bit of space left for the artist to work in! The type of smartass, two-fisted character represented here by King Faraday was familiar to pulp magazine and paperback book readers, as well as radio listeners of the forties. In contrast to that other media, a comic book should let the pictures, not hefty captions, tell most of the story.
Story by Robert Kanigher, edited by Julius Schwartz, art by Carmine Infantino and Joe Giella.
