Mr. District Attorney #22

This 1951 DC gem brings "The Marksman of Crime!" to the pages of Mr. District Attorney, adapted from radio's number-one hit with a full 52 pages of courtroom adventure. Howard Purcell and Charles Paris deliver a tense cover scene where a suited man in a white fedora strolls with a red-dressed woman, unaware that in the foreground a sinister rifleman takes aim while a conspirator operates a film reel, declaring the D.A. their "clay pigeon." It's a snapshot of classic crime-comics storytelling at its sharpest — shadowy villainy lurking just outside the light.
