Horror Comic Review - Don Heck - Hitlers Head

Tweet

1952 – Weird Terror Comics – spoiler alerts A quite clever if nasty horror comic with a great pulp title and a genuine cruel sense of poetic justice. A leading Nazi who was a Concentration Camp Commandant has fled to South America under an assumed identity along with his loyal minions, only to find himself pursued by Hitler’s ghost for not fighting to the death as the allies captured Berlin itself in 1945. The leading character is not repentant about his former duties. He is only pursued for saving himself rather than dying for Hitler’s vile ideology. The Nazis with the antagonist are picked off one by one by the demonic hordes of Hell led by Hitler personally saving the main character for last and when the South American authorities investigate the tragedy in the encampment they find all the bodies mutilated so they each have Hitler’s face instead of their own. This runs like a very macabre episode of The Twilight Zone. Arthur Chappell
