Gang Busters #64

From the rooftop vantage of 1958 DC crime comics, this issue of Gang Busters promises a daring cat-and-mouse encounter — and the cover by Bob Brown delivers the tension immediately. A helmeted figure in brown is being launched skyward from a large cylindrical structure, a parachute pack strapped to his back, while two lawmen on the ground scramble to react — one crying "We've got him trapped!" only to be told he's actually escaping by parachute. The featured story, "The Daredevil Bandit," with writing by Bill Finger and art by Sheldon Moldoff, looks to match that cover's clever, pulpy energy.
