Man-eating plants were a mainstay in the pulp magazines of the 30's an 40's and it's not surprising they found their way into comic books. "Death Flower" appeared in TALES OF HORROR #11 (A Minoan Magazine/Toby Press, Inc., June 1954). It was reprinted from THE PURPLE CLAW #3 (Toby, May 1953). Art is by Ben Brown and David Gantz.
The editor of this title, Elliot Caplin, was also the owner of Toby Press. The art director was "Mel" Lazarus and readers may recognize the name. Mell Lazarus created the newspaper strips MISS PEACH (1957) an MOMMA (1970).
