Police Comics #58

In "The Green Terror," Jack Cole delivers a chilling early tale of science gone awry, as a man obsessed with botanical transformation unleashes a deadly revenge on a man who destroyed his life's work. The Green Terror, a villain whose body is fused with a monstrous plant, uses his unnatural physiology to trap and suffocate his enemies—his very existence marked by a green blood that betrays his unnatural origins. With Jack Cole handling writing, art, and lettering, and his signature style brought to life on the cover by his own pencils and inks, this 1946 Quality Comics classic stands as a striking example of the era’s genre-blending horror and pulp sensibilities.
