Number 2260: The Claw, one-man chain gang

Ah me...I showed the prior chapter of this story last August. If anyone thought I was building suspense, it was more that I just forgot. If curious, you may swing back to August 22, 2018 and see the Claw from Pappy’s #2223.

The Claw, big fellow that he is, is held captive with a large chain. He gets slipped some pills (you know they are for him because the name “The Claw” is on the pillbox) and is mysteriously free of the chains. What th--?! At the risk of spoiling it for you, the mystery of the disappearing chains is not solved, but we are told in the last panel that police are looking for “the Orientals who dropped mysterious pills into [the Claw’s] mouth — making his escape possible!”

Another cliffhanger. Now I must find Daredevil Comics #5 and continue the story. If I were you I would not hold my breath waiting, because when it comes to this blog and my memory, nothing is as certain as uncertainty.
