Gang Busters #41

A gunman lurks hidden behind a ballpark scoreboard, drawing a bead on an unsuspecting batter through a scoped rifle — with 60,000 oblivious fans in the stands as unwitting cover. This chilling 1954 DC crime issue, featuring the story "The Hundred Grand Gun!", captures the era's love of high-concept criminal schemes played out against everyday American settings. Cover art by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye delivers the tension with cool, precise linework, and the series' rallying cry — "You Can't Beat the Law!" — promises that justice will find its way even behind the scoreboard.
