Short Thoughts

Episode 18 of my Darna translation project Valentina Attacks.

I found this episode disturbingly violent for a 1950s-era comic. I knew what was going to happen, since I'm reading ahead relative to what I post, but working on it kinda put me in a dark place. Even pre-code E.C. comics, as graphic as the violence might be, is still fairly, well, cartoonish. This, for me, was not.

I'd be curious if other readers react the same way I did.
