The Crisis of Dirk Diamond

Another tale well calculated to keep you in. In each of us, there is a possible murderer, or a man who feeds on murder, rebels in the sound of it, the thrill of it. This is the story of a man who murdered for the pleasure of others.

The story of Dirk Diamond, written by Sam Lock. For so far, we're in conflict. We meet twice a month at night. That's well he's talking. Robert Welby of the Senate. He okay's the murders. Don't gentlemen, I think we've got to get rid of the thunder.

No blood. It's not going to be easy. The murders are coming too quick. No Mike. They're not coming quick enough. Murder is what the public expects from Dirk Diamond. And if you don't give the public what it expects, they stop reading Dirk Diamond and go to other comic strips. They're doing that already. George, show Bob the
