Action Comics #30
In "The Midsummer Snowstorm," Clip Carson—Hollywood's top adventure film supervisor—finds himself drawn into a mystery when a reporter named Pierre Renoire sends a look-alike assistant, Rudolf, to the set under false pretenses. After a star, Mare Temperal, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Clip digs into the strange connection between Renoire and the man who resembles him, uncovering a web of deception that leads him to a locked door he’s not allowed to open. The story unfolds with sharp tension, grounded in the era’s noir sensibilities, and features dynamic art by Geo Papp, with a striking cover by Joe Shuster and Leo Nowak.
