rare; classic bondage/torture cover (3/40)The Frank Thomas design on the cover of Keen Detective Funnies #18 is known as one of the most disturbing covers of the era, depicting a scene of torture and bondage that is being witnessed by the Eye, one of Centaur's more eccentric creations. These kinds of covers would become more common as WWII wore on, and the US entered the fray, but this early example is still a perennial favorite of fans of Golden Age crime books.
