Mr. District Attorney #55

DC's long-running legal drama series delivers another tense mystery in this 1957 issue, with cover art by Ruben Moreira putting the D.A. front and center — appearing on a television screen, holding up a handwritten letter addressed to "Mrs. Mansfield" from the mysterious "XXX," while a distressed figure in the foreground slumps over a desk crying out "I'm XXX — I'm trapped!" The cover teases the story "Exposing the Crank Letter Criminal," promising the kind of procedural cat-and-mouse intrigue that made Mr. District Attorney a favorite across TV, radio, and comics alike. At just a dime, this Comics Code–approved issue captures the crisp, everyday suspense that defined DC's mid-century crime titles.
