There's lots of talk this election year about "job creators"!
But the wise politician (and everybody else) should worry about the ones on the other end of the food chain, as Henry Mason discovers...
This tawdry tale from Comic Media's Weird Horror #1 (1951) was illustrated by C A Winter.
The writer is unknown.
C A Winter aka Charles Allan Winter aka Chuck Winter was a major contributor to comics from 1939 to 1957, doing penciling and inking on several hundred stories in every genre from horror to sci-fi to funny animal at almost every company.
Before comics, he worked in advertising.
Though it couldn't be reprinted, due to the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority, which had cracked down on such over-the-top material after the "Seduction of the Innocent" controversy of the 1950s, the script was re-used verbatim in a redrawn version for inclusion in a b/w magazine...where the Comics Code didn't apply!
Golden/Silver Age artist Dick Ayers rendered this story for Eerie Publications' b/w magazine Tales of Voodoo #8 (V3N3) in 1970, just before the Comics Code loosened up restrictions on various monsters and bloodletting in color comics...which would've permitted reprinting the original comic tale in a four-color comic book!
