Big Town #10

High above a bustling harbor city, "The Flying Pressroom" — a bright red biplane — tears through the sky as Steve Wilson grapples with a green-suited villain clinging to the aircraft's exterior, while a alarmed blonde woman and another passenger look on from the cockpit. Alex Toth's cover art crackles with aerial tension, framing the city's skyline and the ships far below to give the scene a genuine sense of vertiginous danger. This October 1951 DC issue promises "explosive secrets hidden in the clouds" in "Crime Rides the Skies!" — a fitting adventure for fans of the era's TV and radio tie-in comics.
