From G-2: "Case 3: The Murder Gun" by Ruben Moreira, National Comics #29 (February 1943)
This story is told by a "murder gun", I kid you not. It's not only the narrator, but it speaks through speech bubbles (sometimes painted as smoke coming out of its barrel) AND is featured in chapter boxes under blood-soaked numbers. An amazing story-telling conceit in what is otherwise a pretty traditional spandex strip.

Be more chilling if it didn't raise memories of the old Sledge Hammer police parody TV show - or Phil Foglio's Buck Godot villain the Pistol-Packing Polaris Packrat and his talking handguns Smith and Wesson, but of course those didn't exist back when teh comic came out.
