Gang Busters #16

Adapted from one of radio's most popular coast-to-coast crime dramas, Gang Busters #16 from DC packs a full 52 pages of law-and-order action into a single 1950 dime. Nick Cardy's cover depicts a desperate figure in a green suit clutching a mysterious bag marked with a question mark as he sprints away, while uniformed police officers give hot pursuit — all beneath the tantalizing tease: "I Stole the World's Biggest Secret!" With the reassuring motto "You Can't Beat the Law!" anchoring the bottom, this issue delivers the hard-boiled thrills that made Gang Busters a fixture of the era, including the interior story "Death on Wheels" illustrated by Curt Swan.
