In this 1975 issue, a private detective takes on a seemingly simple case of marital infidelity—only to unravel a tangled web of deception in the city's water commissioner's office. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Mort Drucker, the story is capped off by a striking cover by Jack Davis.
