Mr. District Attorney #13

Straight from the pages of radio's number-one hit comes Mr. District Attorney #13, a 52-page DC anthology from 1950 with a cover by Howard Purcell and Sheldon Moldoff that crackles with courtroom tension. The scene bursts through a backdrop of newspaper headlines — including the striking "Murder Suspect to Face Lie Detector Test" — as a determined man in a blue suit leans across a polygraph machine, pressing a suspect seated behind it while a sharp-eyed blonde woman in red looks on. It's a perfectly charged snapshot of mid-century crime drama, and with Ed Herron writing and Howard Purcell and Charles Paris handling interior art, the storytelling inside promises to match the intensity on full display right here on the cover.
