I picked up this for 20p. in a junk shop.
The Eagle comic from October 1982.
Inside is a chess story portrayed using pictures and voice bubbles.
Here it is….(I've left out a dozen pictures but you will get the drift of it.)
The played by phone and every game ended in a draw.
Marvin King’s wife was fed up with him playing chess all day.
and….
…a fierce argument erupted.
The argument put Marvin off his game and he blundered into a lost game.
But before the game could finish Marvin had a heart attack and died.
Peter King cannot believe it.
So Peter finds a medium, Madame Valda, to contact Marvin so he can finish the game....
....and Marvin duly appears…
…and gives Peter a warning.
Marvin takes over the medium’s body and she…
….kills Peter.
and the punch line.
The End
