Mr. District Attorney #52

This 1956 DC gem drops readers into a dimly lit pool hall where tension crackles under a hanging lamp — a man in a purple suit stands coolly at the billiard table, apparently wearing a plastic disguise, while a young companion whispers the telltale clue to Mr. District Attorney and a nervous older figure lurks at the edge of the scene. Ruben Moreira's cover art captures that crisp mid-50s crime-comics atmosphere, with the pool cue, the eight-ball, and that accusatory overhead light doing real dramatic work. Also featuring "The Boy D.A." — plus a gigantic contest with 5,000 prizes — issue #52 is a sharp, satisfying slice of courtroom-adjacent crime fiction at its ten-cent best.
