Like a hypodermic needle in the eye -- possibly the most infamous comic book story ever

Perhaps the darkest of Jack Cole's many dark moments, immortalized in Seduction of the Innocent.

This could explain that chapter in "Seduction of the Innocent"

The Dark Story of Bright Eyes

And I do mean dark.

Jack Cole's art always had its share of disturbing images (his depiction of an eye about to be stabbed by a hypodermic would figure prominently in Seduction of the Innocent), but those were primarily scenes of violence. The focus here is on cruelty, and is, if anything, more troubling.
