Mr. District Attorney #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeStraight from radio's number-one hit comes this 52-page DC gem from 1950, bringing the sharp-eyed District Attorney to vivid four-color life. Cover artists Howard Purcell and Charles Paris frame the scene beautifully: a determined D.A. in a sharp suit leans over a cutaway model of a house, pointing out a key detail to a uniformed police officer, while a wide-eyed blonde woman looks on with concern — the cover itself promises "A Baffling Murder Mystery!" inside. With Dan Barry handling the interior art, this is a satisfying slice of mid-century crime drama that captures exactly why the franchise was such a sensation in 1950.
