Four Color #13

This 1942 Dell four-color gem brings Mr. District Attorney to life across a full 68 pages of vibrant color — a remarkable value for a dime. Jim Chambers' cover art puts you right in the thick of a rooftop confrontation, where a determined man in a suit and fedora grabs hold of another figure at the edge of a city skyline, with bridges and urban buildings stretching out dramatically below them. It's a tense, well-composed scene that captures the hard-boiled crime-fighting spirit of the era with real confidence and style.
