“City Slicker”

In "City Slicker," magician Tarnstrom takes the stage at a society party, only to be accused of stealing Mrs. Van Brunt’s ruby and replacing it with a fake. When a private detective steps in to unravel the mystery, he zeroes in on one of the guests—the brains of the Simmons gang, international jewel swindlers. Written and illustrated by Tom Canby, with a striking cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia, this 1955 Charlton issue blends sleight-of-hand intrigue with a classic whodunit.
