Mr. District Attorney #20

Adapted from radio's top-rated crime drama, Mr. District Attorney #20 delivers 52 big pages of hard-boiled justice for just a dime. Win Mortimer and Charles Paris's cover sets the scene at a bustling waterfront — a desperate figure recoils near a docked cargo ship and crane while a giant, all-seeing eye beams down from the shadows like a spotlight of guilt, with the D.A. himself watching intently from the upper corner. Promising "a thrill-packed story behind a grim manhunt," this 1951 issue makes clear that no criminal, dockside or otherwise, can outrun the law for long.
