Gang Busters #35

Straight from TV and radio comes DC's crime-fighting anthology, and issue #35 delivers a tense standoff set against a towering lighthouse — two determined lawmen on the ground, guns drawn, while a suspect clings to the exterior ladder above them, with the speech balloon declaring "That's his last bullet! Now, let's go in and get him!" The featured story, "Desperate Manhunt," promises exactly the kind of relentless, no-quarter pursuit the series built its 1953 reputation on, all rendered in Leonard Starr's sharp cover linework. "You Can't Beat the Law!" the cover boldly reminds us — and from the looks of things, that cornered figure on the lighthouse is about to find out the hard way.
