Charlton's Strange Suspense Stories Pre-Code run has some gruesome covers that feature death by electric chair and strangulation, but this September, 1954 issue goes with death by alligator pit! A madman hammers away at the hands of a pretty blonde as she struggles to maintain her grip or fall to the hungry reptiles below, in a scene the likes of which would soon be banished from the newsstands by the Comics Code. The offered example is a CGC 7.0 Fine/Very Fine and it's the first example we've offered in 6 years. Adding to its desirability, it also has near newsstand-fresh Off-White to White Pages.
