A week ago I showed the Jack Cole story, “Murder, Morphine and Me” from
True Crime #2. It featured the “injury to the eye motif” panel in Fredric Wertham’s anti-comics screed,
Seduction of the Innocent. A week later I’m showing you more Jack Cole, and one other injury to the eye panel.
Above is the cover of
Police Comics #24, which is yet another example. Kids saw this sort of thing every time they saw a Three Stooges film short. Did Jack Cole have a thing about attacking eyeballs? I don’t know, but if you know of any similar panels in other stories of his let me know.
Eyeball attacks notwithstanding, this is a totally screwball story, which has to be read to be appreciated. You know you’re in the middle of something bizarre when you see a panel where the top of a man’s head is blown off and on the ground nearby lies a waiting brain.
From
Police Comics #11 (1942):
