Four Color #265

In the 1950 Dell Four Color #265, writer and artist Jim Gary delivers a gripping mystery with "Beard, the Blind Beggar / Plot to Kill Prudence Plenty," a tale where a man pretending to be blind orchestrates a deadly robbery and sets the morgue ablaze to vanish. As the relentless King pursues the fugitive Beard into the mountains, a fire claims the man's life—only for King to meet a mysterious girl who warns him Prudence Plenty is in danger. The story unfolds with sharp pacing and noir flair, all drawn and written by Jim Gary, with the cover also by him.
