Smash Comics #36

In "The Death of Midnight!!," the enigmatic vigilante Midnight meets a grim end in a clash with Cyclops Ceylon, only to be denied entry to heaven and sent to Hell—where he discovers the Devil isn’t in charge, but a terrifyingly powerful Mrs. who inflicts unspeakable torment. Meanwhile, a mysterious professor makes a desperate pact with the mad scientist Doc Wackey, trading his life for Midnight’s, just as the damned begin to rise in revolt. Jack Cole’s stark, dramatic storytelling and art bring this surreal, high-stakes descent to life, while Reed Crandall’s cover captures the issue’s dark, operatic tone.
