Airboy Comics #10 [57]
In "The Clown's Sacrifice," the haunted legacy of Wasau resurfaces when the Iron Duke’s descendant returns to the town, preying on travelers with ruthless efficiency. But the past refuses to stay buried—ghostly echoes of the town’s lost children and the enigmatic figure known as The Heap rise to confront the present. Penciled and inked by Clement Weisbecker and Bob Butts, with a striking cover by Dan Zolnerowich, this 1948 issue blends wartime tension with supernatural unease in a tale that lingers long after the final page.

In years past, the Iron Duke's total destruction of Wasau, including the killing of its children, is remembered year after year, and in the year of 1917, the remembrance date was occasioned by the crashing of Baron von Emmelman's plane and his death. By 1943, life had returned to Wasau, and the descendant of the Iron Duke returned to Wasau to waylay passing travelers and strip them of their wealth, killing without mercy...until the ghost babies and The Heap step into the picture!
