AN EXTRA SHOT IN THE HEAD

Any fan of pre-Code horror comics will be familiar with the infamous cover shown above by Don Heck for HORRIFIC (Comic Media, January 1953). What you may not know is that Heck recycled the "horrific" image from a cover he did just a few months before for the first issue of Comic Media's WAR FURY (September 1952).

Heck added an extra touch of horror for this war comic with the G.I. giving the North Korean soldier a shot of burning petrochemical by way of his flame-thrower.

Some images are just too good to be used only once!
