Big Town #49

This February 1958 DC gem puts Steve Wilson at the center of a gripping case of mistaken identity — the cover, penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Joe Giella, shows a tense confrontation where a uniformed officer holds a gun on a man in an orange suit while a nearly identical figure looks on in shock, with dialogue bubbles making clear that someone's double is running loose as a masked mastermind. The split-image tension of two men who share the same face gives the scene an unsettling, noir-tinged energy that perfectly sets up the featured story, "The Mysterious Masquerader of Big Town!" Inside, writer John Broome and artist Manny Stallman (inked by John Giunta) bring the mystery to life — a solid creative team delivering the kind of sharp crime storytelling that made DC's Big Town a reliably entertaining read.
