Mr. District Attorney #57

Set against the tense atmosphere of a State Prison visiting room, this June 1957 DC title puts the District Attorney's reputation squarely on the line. Cover artist Ruben Moreira stages a quietly dramatic scene — a young man in a green jacket sits across from a weathered convict behind wire mesh, while a blonde woman and a man in a fedora look on with visible concern, a uniformed guard watching over the whole exchange. The featured story, "The Cop Whose Father Was a Convict," promises exactly the kind of morally charged courtroom drama that made Mr. District Attorney such a compelling read in its era.
