Big Town #32

Mid-1950s DC storytelling at its most gripping — this March–April 1955 issue of Big Town features a cover by Gil Kane (pencils) and Joe Giella (inks) that crackles with tension. A desperate man in a blue suit recoils behind a desk, hands raised, as a frightened blonde woman in red rushes through a doorway — all while a speech bubble warns Wilson he'll never get his exposé back to the Illustrated Press. Tied to TV's hit show and headlining John Broome's "The Prophet of Doom!", this is sharp, pulpy drama that captures exactly why Big Town was must-read comics in 1955.
