Number 2223: The Claw: Mad monster of hate!

By request, the follow-up to the Claw story I presented last month in Pappy’s Number 2204. The Claw continues his rampage in America, and we find out something about the monstrously large villain (as in the preceding story, misspelled “villian”): his huge lungs need 50 times the amount of oxygen that us regular-size people need. Maybe that is how he keeps going, by sucking all the air out of the room.

The story is from Daredevil Comics #3 (1941), published by Lev Gleason, and edited by Charles Biro, who kept his own readers breathless from all of the action and activity of these early comic books. The story is signed by Bob Wood, who became his co-editor on titles like Boy Comics and Crime Does Not Pay.
