Does anyone know anything more about the 1950 graphic novel, It Rhymes With Lust, that is mentioned in the article?

We should write a comic about it.

It rhymes with lust is a fairly mediocre crime comics story --like a very long version of an issue of crime does not pay and similar comics from the 40s-50s. or like an inferior b-movie film noir. the comics journal reprinted the whole thing a few months ago and dark horse is reprinting it as a graphic novel this year. important as an early graphic novel that inspired no-one --this is the history of graphic novels: every few years from 1800 until about 1980 someone "invented" a long-form comic book and we call these inventions the pre-history of the graphic novel. |
