Mr. District Attorney #58

This 1957 DC crime title delivers a tense undercover premise right on the cover, where a bald, suspicious-looking convict clutches a license plate numbered U1-72-17 while his thought balloon reveals that the man working beside him at the prison press isn't really fellow inmate Willy Hambro — he's the D.A. in disguise. A uniformed officer watches from a window above, adding another layer of surveillance to this quietly nerve-wracking scene, all rendered with crisp, clean linework by cover artist Ruben Moreira. Featuring the story "Mr. D.A.'s Double Identity," issue #58 is a fine example of DC's mid-'50s crime comics at their most entertaining.
