Gwandanaland Comics #594

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Manhunt material with cover art penciled by Dick Ayers and inked by Ernie Bache — a pairing that brings real Golden Age energy to the page. The cover spotlights a Scotland Yard tale titled "The Little Man Who Wasn't There," and the scene delivers: a trench-coated detective looms over a bound, unconscious woman while a squat, sinister figure lurks nearby with a lantern casting uneasy light across the scene. It's a tense, atmospheric composition that captures everything pulp crime comics did so well.
