Big Town #29

Big Town #29 brings the drama of TV's hit show to the comics page in fine 1954 style, with a cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella that places the action squarely at a fairground — a man in an orange suit stumbles under gunfire as a fedora-wearing gunman levels a tommy gun in the foreground, while two more suited figures look on against a backdrop of roller coaster scaffolding. The featured story, "Crime Goes to the Fair!," promises the kind of hard-boiled urban crime that made this series a companion piece to its television counterpart, with interior work from writer John Broome, artist Manny Stallman, and inker John Giunta rounding out the package.
