“Blueprint for Crime [Chapter 1]”

"Blueprint for Crime [Chapter 1]" kicks off in Leading Comics #1 (1941), a standout early entry in DC's superhero lineup written by Mort Weisinger. With the Hand cornered and his scheme thwarted, he retreats to his stronghold—only to be spurred by a sudden glimmer of hope when a doctor offers a cure, igniting his pride and driving him to confront the Seven Soldiers of Victory on his own terms. The story's bold, dramatic tone is matched by Mort Meskin’s striking cover art, capturing the tension with a sharp, cinematic flair.
