“The Amazing Crimes of Mr. X!”

Straight from TV and radio to the comics page, Mr. District Attorney #34 (1953) brings DC's courtroom hero into a tense office confrontation — a green-suited man grabs at a flustered, heavyset fellow in purple while a cool-headed blonde woman sits calmly at a typewriter desk nearby. The cover's clever cutaway diagram of a "typewriter gun" hints at the ingenious criminal schemes promised in the featured story, "The Amazing Crimes of Mr. X!", with Win Mortimer's crisp linework making every detail pop. A fine snapshot of early-'50s crime comics at their most inventive.
