It&#8217;s books like this that makes me glad the 24 hour comic was invented. I don&#8217;t think it could have been done better any other way, although I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that the art could have improved. Still, the harried pace of the story fits the rushed look of the artwork just perfectly. There&#8217;s a jewel that causes whoever touches it to basically turn into an out-of-control, homicidal monster. The comic follows the progression of the jewel, from the man who finds it, to the man who recovers it from what&#8217;s left of #1&#8217;s body, to the rat who picks it up from #2&#8217;s body, to the cop who picks it up from the body of the giant rat he was forced to kill, etc. Look, as long as 24 hour comics are fun, I don&#8217;t have much to bitch about, and this one was a blast. Go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngamericancomics.com\/\">website<\/a> and buy this book if you like mayhem. If you like a quiet, thoughtful story, well, you could probably skip it. $2!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/curses11.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"431\" height=\"690\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Curses The Jewel of Denial The cover&#8217;s a bit less creepy with that rainbow effect, isn&#8217;t it?
