Gwandanaland Comics #885

This Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Public Defender in Action #12, a Charlton publication billing its hero as an "Exciting Champion of Justice." The cover captures a tense moment perfectly — a determined blond man in a tan trenchcoat and blue suit strides urgently away from a columned building, briefcase in hand, while a suspicious car and its occupants loom in the background, all tied to the tantalizing case of "The Vanished Clue." If you enjoy mid-century crime and legal-thriller comics with that classic pulp energy, this 2019 reprint is a fine way to experience the complete run of this underappreciated Charlton series.
