Gang Busters #2

Based on the smash radio hit of the same name, Gang Busters #2 arrives from DC in early 1948 as a 52-page crime-fighting package for just ten cents. Dan Barry's cover tells the whole story in one gripping image: a desperate gunman, caught in a harsh police spotlight, staggers against a "Dead End" sign with a pistol in hand and nowhere left to run. Promising a sensational exposé titled "The Private Life of a Public Enemy," this issue captures the hard-boiled thrill of an era when the law always — eventually — caught up with its quarry.
