PEP COMICS #9
(On Newsstands in August 1940)

The sexual tension was gone, but Irv Novick's cover for Pep #9 still had plenty going on...

NOT the kind of surprise party you want to get stuck at... The Claw makes more trouble for Mort Meskin's the 'Press Guardian"!

Insinuating some of the darker acts of war... from Biro's Sgt. Boyle!

This month it's Charles Biro who finally out did Novick with a dark, violent, bondage cover featuring some headless, brain in a jar villains!

Biro's Steel Sterling was getting violent, and soon, scenes like this one would be common place on covers for the era!

Zambini the Miracle Man, may have been last, but Lin Streeters art made it memorable!
