He's lean, he's mean, he's green


Stark...the scoundrel? Where was the writer's thesaurus when he wrote this story? Stark is a killer who gets put to death in the electric chair, then is revived by some vegetable formula at the expense of turning the color of broccoli, and goes on a crime spree, and all he is is a scoundrel? How about Stark the slayer? the savage? the sociopath?

This story is from Blackhawk #16, Autumn 1947. Grand Comics Database, using their old question mark trick, lists Bill Ward? as artist. I don't claim to know who drew it, but the artwork is good.
