Mr. District Attorney #8

Based on the hit radio program, Mr. District Attorney #8 arrives in 1949 with a cover that puts freedom of the press squarely in the crosshairs — literally. Howard Purcell and Charles Paris deliver a tense newsroom scene where a car outside opens fire, shattering the window and sending a red-haired woman, a ducking reporter, and a stunned editor scrambling for cover amid flying debris. The bold cover copy — "You Can't Print That!" wrote gangland's guns — sets up a story promising that a fighting editor's stand against criminal intimidation won't go unanswered.
