The Barker #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Tallulah, the Tattooed Lady," former stuntman Wylie crafts a deceptive electric costume to outwit the circus's high diver, using illusion and daring to set the stage for a shocking confrontation. Written by Joe Millard and illustrated by Klaus Nordling, this 1947 tale from Quality Comics delivers a pulse-pounding blend of circus spectacle and cunning revenge, all wrapped in a cover by Klaus Nordling.
Carnie Calahan, the pitch-perfect barker of Colonel Lane's Mammoth Circus, admires Tallulah's spectacular self-tattooed artistry—but beneath her decorated skin lies a woman bearing invisible wounds. When tension erupts between Tallulah and Lily Ryan, the circus's sharp-tongued bareback rider, a terrible secret sets the stage for tragedy at the big top.
In a 1947 tale of spectacle and sabotage, the Human Dynamo—formerly known as Wylie, a disgraced stuntman—returns to the Mammoth Circus with a dazzling new act and a hidden grudge, setting his sights on Hi Cliff, the high diver who once overshadowed him. With a costume that fools even the sharpest eyes, Wylie’s electrifying performance begins, but the real show is yet to come.
