Gang Busters #10

Based on DC's long-running tie-in to the smash radio hit, Gang Busters #10 (June/July 1949) delivers a tense street-level moment right on its cover: a uniformed police officer, gun in hand, stands alert beside a brick wall as a suited man in a fedora attempts to slip out through a window — and the bold banner overhead reminds him that "You Can't Beat the Law!" At 52 pages for just ten cents, this issue features the story "Fourth Offender" with art by Stookie Allen, while the striking photo-realistic cover is the work of Theda and Emerson Hall.
