Mr. District Attorney #32

Based on DC's long-running crime series adapted from TV and radio, this March–April 1953 issue drops readers right into a darkroom showdown rendered in striking magenta tones by cover artist Win Mortimer. A pistol blazes from off-panel, its muzzle flash illuminating a tense confrontation between two men — one clutching a photographic negative that may hold the key to cracking a murder case, just as the speech balloon ominously trails off with "HUH!?" The featured story, "The Case of the Bad Luck Clues!", promises exactly the kind of pulse-quickening procedural drama that made Mr. District Attorney a favorite across radio, television, and the comics page.
