We saw this tale of terror and justice uncut in Part 1...
Now let's see how it looked after the Comics Code Authority took their censoring scissors to the reprinted version...
 |
| The knife, seen in panels 5-7 on the original page, is now missing! |
 |
| The knife in panels 3 and 5 is missing in the reprint page! |
 |
| Despite being removed from the previous pages, the knife is shown to be the murder weapon! |
 |
| But how did the knife get there if it was deleted from the earlier pages? |
 |
| Ruth's word balloon in the last panel is rewritten to eliminate reference to the knife shown on the original page! |
 |
Why is Ruth screaming? It's not like there's a dead body, like there was in the original page! |
 |
Why did the villain fall to his death? Maybe it's the fact that Holiday shot him in the original version of the first panel! |
This Comics Code Authority-eviscerated reprint appeared in Charlton's This is Suspense # 24 (1955).
The writer is unknown and the illustrator is George Evans.
A comic with no more violence or blood than a TV cop show of the period is gutted by the CCA to Protect the Morals of the Youth of America.
