Danger #13

Charlton's Cold War spy anthology comes to life in this 1955 entry, with a cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia that captures rooftop surveillance at its most tense — a trenchcoated agent crouches at a skylight with a camera while a second figure lurks below, and through the glass, a shadowy operative in a black hat confronts a woman in white. The tagline says it all: "Secret Agents… Spies… Espionage… Intrigue," and the cover delivers every bit of that atmosphere with moody noir shadows and a genuine sense of watched-and-watching paranoia. Inside, Don Heck handles art duties on "Jet Test," making this a satisfying slice of mid-50s espionage comics.
