Yellowjacket Comics #1 is the very first Charlton Comic, on sale July 1, 1944. Here's a link to read this issue. The cover doesn't make all that much of the title character who is seen only in an inset. In fact, no scene like that featured on the cover occurs inside the comic. Other features in the comic are Diana the Huntress, a Famous Tales of Terror featuring Poe's "The Black Cat", King of Beasts about the circus, Harbor Lights a marine adventure, The Filipino Kid a war story, and some other assorted small items.
Rip Off
There's some violent panels here--especially the hanging feline in The Black Cat adaptation--which makes up a little for the largely-unremarkable content of this issue.
ReplyDeleteHistorically significant yes. Remarkable no. I was surprised at the violence generally, but this was still during the war years.
