Mr. District Attorney #65

From 1958, this DC courtroom drama puts a genuinely unsettling image front and center: a figure whose entire head is wrapped in bandages — concealing her identity completely — stands in a suit-clad man's company before a tense courtroom scene, while two defendants at the defense table anxiously ask, "Who is she? Who is the D.A. getting to testify against us?" A judge presides beneath an American flag as the cover teases the secret behind Mr. D.A.'s "Mystery Witness." Sheldon Moldoff's clean, expressive linework makes the most of the suspense, and at just ten cents this issue delivered the kind of sharp legal intrigue that kept DC's Mr. District Attorney running strong well into the late fifties.
