...as this graphic version of the CBS Suspense radio anthology series episode "Body Snatchers" demonstrates!
Adapted from an episode written by noted mystery writer John Dickson Carr and broadcast on November 24, 1942, this tale was adapted by an unknown writer, penciled by Matt Baker and inked by Frank Giusto appeared in Timely's Suspense #1 (1949).
The first two issues of Suspense adapted stories from the radio/TV series, but as of the third issue, it became a typical horror comic of the era, running for another twenty-seven issues until it was cancelled at the height of the anti-comic "Seduction of the Innocent" mania in 1953.
On a lighter note, and as a kool bonus, we're offering the radio show episode the comic is based on for you to listen to by clicking HERE!
You'll hear that the basic story is intact, and much of the dialogue is the same, but the structure of the radio tale is different!
It was re-arranged to suit the needs of visual storytelling when it was illustrated seven years later.
