JOHNNY CRAIG and "The Idol's Revenge" (1949)

Here's another swell silverprint. The story appeared in War Against Crime #10, from Dec. 1949-Jan. 1950. History tells us the colorist (maybe even Marie Severin) marked up these pages for the printer, but the real story is that she (or he) did it just to bedevil Cap'n Bob Napier, knowing he'd be straining his peepers to read the story here 72 years later.

Another cool silverprint from Gunfighter #12, Nov-Dec 1949. Yippee-ki-yay, You-Know-Whos.

JOHNNY CRAIG introduces CAPTAIN CRIME, "The Field Marshal of Murder" (1948)

A war story in a crime comic? OK. From Crime Patrol #7, 1948. Can't swear to it, but I suspect this first appearance of the Captain was also his last.

From Gunfighter #11, Sept-Oct 1949, comes another in our series of Pre-Trend silverprint tales. I dig 'em. Hope you do, too. 

JOHNNY CRAIG and "The Corpse in the Crematorium" (1950)

Another cool silverprint color guide from Crime Patrol #16, the last issue before it became The Crypt of Terror, and then Tales from the Crypt. 

JOHNNY CRAIG's "Three Clues to Terror"" (1949)

These pages are the hand-colored silverprint, prepared as a color guide for the printer. This tale is from the Pre-Trend EC book Crime Patrol #14, which would soon morph into Tales from the Crypt.
