Mr. District Attorney #53

Only at DC in 1956 could a courtroom scene look quite like this: cover artist Ruben Moreira stages a wonderfully tense trial in which Shep the Wonder Dog — perched on a chair — swats letter tiles onto a chalkboard while a sharp-suited district attorney declares him his star witness, a bewildered defendant and officer looking on from the gallery below. Featuring the story "The Canine Eye-Witness," this issue of Mr. District Attorney delivers the series' signature blend of legal drama and offbeat charm in one irresistible ten-cent package. Also packed inside are details and an entry blank for DC's giant 5,000-prize contest — making this October issue a genuine double draw.
