Produced by the Automotive Safety Foundation in cooperation with the President's Committee for Traffic Safety. By the early 1960s, the average yearly death toll due to traffic accidents was about 38 million -- in 1962, the fatality toll reached a record of 41,000! We believe this comic was made sometime during 1962-1963, as the Kennedy administration is referenced, but not Johnson's. There's also a possibility that it was released around the time of President Johnson's approval of Public Law 88-515 (which codified certain car safety standards) on August 30, 1964. B&W, 16 pages, standard paper stock.

Wraparound Cover by Juan Jose Ryp. Christos Gage pushes John Dusk to the brink as Absolution kicks into high gear! You know the situation Dick Cheney likes to talk about--the one where you have a criminal in custody, there's imminent danger to innocent lives, and only your captive has the information needed to save them? John Dusk is in that situation now. Except the perp isn't in John's custody, he's in the NYPD's. And they don't torture. If John takes matters into his own hands, with everyone watching... everything changes. He's always told himself he brutalized criminals to save innocents. But will he NOT torture and kill to save himself, even if it means others die? John always knew there would come a time when he had to choose between his two lives. That time is now. And either way, there's no going back. He wants to be forgiven... but he doesn't want to stop. Cover price $3.99.
