Mr. District Attorney #51

A clever criminal disguise nearly unravels in this May–June 1956 DC entry, with cover art by Ruben Moreira capturing a tense scene where a group of thugs watches a television set — unaware that the woman on screen, Miss Miller (the D.A.'s secretary), may be quietly blowing their cover. The speech bubbles crackle with mid-1950s menace as one of the crooks, Harrington, realizes his trigger-burns disguise could be exposed at any moment, all while a 1956 Zephyr car commercial plays as an unwitting backdrop to the drama. Featuring the story "The Big Heist," this issue showcases the street-level crime-fighting world of Mr. District Attorney at its most suspenseful.
