National Comics #67
In "The Curse of Ali Ben Riff Raff!", a wronged inventor named The Wasp, betrayed by two greedy businessmen who stole his invention—a pair of mechanical wings—takes a deadly revenge. Drawn by Bill Quackenbush, this 1948 tale of betrayal and retribution unfolds with a chilling twist, all rendered in stark, expressive art. The cover, by Klaus Nordling, captures the story’s ominous tone with a striking image of The Wasp in his mechanical guise.
