Daring Adventures #10
"Killers on the Bounce" kicks off with Jake and Lil, a pair of circus performers whose seemingly playful act hides a deadly scheme—using light-sensitive gas-filled rubber balls to target the children of the wealthy, then striking while the families are distracted. Penciled and inked by Stan Asch, the story unfolds with a tight, suspenseful rhythm, while Ross Andru and Mike Esposito deliver a striking cover that captures the duo’s eerie charm. A 12-cent comic from 1963, this issue blends circus flair with a chilling twist.
