The monster depicted in the last panel of this story gets my vote for the most hideous creature that ever showed its ugly "face" in a Pre-Code comic -- and it wasn't even in a horror comic -- it was in a crime comic!
The story, "Ultimate Destiny: A Study in Suspense and Horror" appeared in the last issue (#5) of CRIME DETECTOR (Timor, September 1954), with a script by an unknown writer and drawn by Jaw Disbrow. It's a typical tale of being granted eternal life with unexpected consequences, but the last page is a doozy. A true Disbrow classic who outdid his Pre-Code horror contemporaries with this monstrosity.
Don't peek!
