The Spell of Sinner Ella-Gray Morrow-1971


We all know the great Gray, of course, but who was/is writer Bill Dennehy? He's credited with a number of stories for DC's "mystery" titles in the early '70s but not much else, and apparently nothing past 1977.

UPDATE: Reader Jake Oster writes: According to Mike Tiefenbacher, in The Comic Reader # 142, Apr 1977, Bill Dennehy was a pen-name for editor Murray Boltinoff.

Thanks, Jake!

  1. According to Comic Vine this was a pen name for Murray Boltinoff. Quoting:

    Murray Boltinoff: Versatile DC comic writer of many genres, such as superhero, war, horror & mystery among others and the brother of Henry Boltinoff. He was also an editor and executive editor while at DC Comics. Sometimes credited under the pen names of Bill Kelley, Al Case, Bill Dennehy and Wesley Marsh.

  2. That's intense art! Those extra thick lines on the outlines give the art an almost 3-D effect. The coloring is quite nice, too, giving the costumes & party scenes a psychedelic edge. The effects drain out after she leaves party bent on revenge... which is another good effect in & of itself.
