Crime Must Pay the Penalty #8
In "The Human Bomb," Anton Kordo lives a double life as a devoted family man and a cunning criminal, his every move shadowed by the ever-present threat of the nitroglycerin vial he carries—enough to make even the bravest officer hesitate. George Gregg’s art, inked by Charles Nicholas, brings stark tension to this early 1949 tale of fear, identity, and the thin line between man and monster. The cover, by Louis Zansky, captures the dangerous allure of a man who holds his own fate in his hands.
