Big Town #38

That cover by Gil Kane and Joe Giella delivers instant, white-knuckle tension: two men trapped in a stalled car struggle with a jammed door-lock as a massive steam locomotive bears down on them at full speed, their panicked dialogue spelling out exactly how dire the situation is. Tied to TV's hit show of 1956, Big Town #38 promises "all new stories," including the intriguingly titled "The Strange Case of the Three Steve Wilsons!" — a mystery that sounds as twisty as the railroad tracks on display. For fans of mid-fifties DC storytelling with a flair for edge-of-your-seat drama, this ten-cent issue is a genuinely compelling find.
