Crime Cases Comics #10

This March 1952 Atlas Comics entry delivers the tense standoff energy that made Crime Cases Comics such a compelling read — a desperate gunman named Vince holds a police officer hostage near an open vault at Andrews Jewelry, while armed cops close in from every angle and a defiant captive shouts that the crook is yellow. Cover art by Sol Brodsky and Christopher Rule packs the scene with sharp, kinetic detail, and the sidebar vignettes teasing stories like "Mugger at Large!" and "Guinea Pig!" promise a full lineup of true-crime drama. At a dime a copy, this issue wears its "crime can't win" credo right on its sleeve.
