Lawbreakers Suspense Stories #13

Two men locked in a desperate struggle atop a moving train car — one grappling the other by the throat while a horrified engineer watches helplessly from the cab window — make for one of the most viscerally tense covers Charlton put out in 1953. Dick Giordano's cover art crackles with momentum, every line selling the danger of that precarious, rain-slicked perch high above the rails. With a story titled "Death Raps Twice" waiting inside, this issue of Lawbreakers Suspense Stories delivers exactly the hard-edged thrills the title promises.
