Johnny Comet #2
In "The Conspirators," Johnny Comet finds himself caught in a small but peculiar predicament when Mrs. Bottle insists her favorite chicken be sacrificed for supper—only her husband, Pop, can't bring himself to do it. Sent to trade the bird for a ready-to-cook one, Johnny's routine errand takes an unexpected turn in this 1954 gem, written by Earl Baldwin and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Frank Frazetta, whose distinctive style defines both the interior and the striking cover.
