Crime and Justice #24

This Charlton crime anthology from 1955 puts you right in the middle of a tense street pursuit — a uniformed officer lunges forward shouting "Stop!!! Or I'll shoot!!!" while a civilian points the way and two young bystanders watch wide-eyed from a doorway. Harry Anderson's cover art crackles with motion and urgency, capturing that split-second of chase that made the crime genre so compelling in mid-decade comics. With a story titled "Meets The Tough Kids," this issue promises the kind of gritty, street-level drama that kept Crime and Justice a reliable ten-cent thrill.
