“Knife Ambush, Part 1”

In "Knife Ambush, Part 1," gambler Jim Gale finds himself entangled in a dangerous game after winning a pearl necklace from a man who tries to reclaim it by force. Rescued by a mysterious servant of a woman in black, Jim follows up on a newspaper reward notice—only to discover his savior is the very person he’s been sent to find. With odds stacked and stakes rising, he places his $1,000 bet on 17-20—on the black. Written by Billy Weston and illustrated by Tom Cooper, with a striking cover by Vin Sullivan, this early DC tale blends suspense and intrigue in a 1935 classic.
