Mr. District Attorney #28

Straight from the pages of TV and radio's favorite lawman comes Mr. District Attorney #28, promising to expose "A Cruel Racket" in the story "Beware the Bogus Beggars!" Cover artists Howard Purcell and Charles Paris set the scene at a movie theater lobby, where a disguised beggar wielding a cane squares off against two determined lawmen with drawn guns — while a startled blonde ticket-booth attendant looks on in alarm. It's a tense, wonderfully staged confrontation that captures the gritty crime-drama energy DC was delivering to readers in 1952.
