More from Lindsey's old comic book

Being forced to listen to how Evelyn Ellis and her gang "ran wild until the stern hand of the law wrote finis to their evil careers" would be . . . about what Kelly deserves. 

The overwrought prose of the narration boxes is equaled only by the sanitized criminal slang of the dialog: "You mean to tell me these two-bit punks are the hard boys you were bragging about?" "Pipe da new chicken! Wot's the matter . . . lost yer wings?"

The Digital Comics Museum's worked hard to let us read stuff like this that otherwise would be lost, so give it a visit sometime.
