Big Town #30

Based on the TV hit show of the same name, this 1954 DC entry finds Steve Wilson deep undercover — dressed in a messenger's uniform and cap, coolly navigating a room full of suspicious crooks who are just steps away from unmasking him. The cover's tense glances from the suited men flanking him, paired with his thought bubble about keeping his identity secret, give the whole scene a genuinely gripping air of noir suspense. Gil Kane's pencils and Joe Giella's inks bring crisp, confident linework to the danger, making this an appealing slice of mid-fifties crime drama from DC.
