Big Town #5

Based on the popular TV and radio series, Big Town #5 brings DC's ace newsman Steve Wilson to the foreground in a story promising one of 1951's most gripping mysteries: "Lost — Strayed or Stolen — One Million Dollars!" The cover by penciler John Lehti and inker Sy Barry puts Wilson right in the thick of it — landing a crisp punch on a blue-suited opponent near a bank's paying-and-receiving window, while a man in an orange suit clutches cash and a blonde woman looks on with alarm. Fifty-two pages of crime and journalism make this a satisfying read for fans of hard-boiled, newspaper-flavored adventure.
