Fight Comics #7

"Blood Money" in Fight Comics #7 (1940) delivers a gritty, fast-paced look at the brutal world of combat through four stark boxing fact cartoons. From Joe Louis’s rise as the youngest heavyweight champ to a young Rameses II fighting for his father, the tales of raw rivalry and unorthodox fighters like the Moosejaw lumberjacks and Tommy Farr’s circus days are drawn with punchy energy by Bob Powell on the cover and captured in the stark, compelling style of Watt A. Socker’s writing.
