Police Action #7

This November 1954 Atlas Comics entry delivers a tense, well-crafted cover by Sol Brodsky showing a jailbreak caught in the act — a grinning prisoner in stripes clutches a gun and a knife atop a cell wall, boasting "See, I told ya not to worry… this place is a cinch to break out of!" while below him a squad of blue-uniformed officers, armed with pistols and a rifle, closes in with a sharp "NOW!" The clever detail of the wall-mounted circuit-breaker warning sign adds a procedural authenticity that feels right at home in an era of hard-boiled crime comics. Interior art on "Trusty!" comes from Bob Forgione, making this a solid showcase of 1954 Atlas talent across both cover and story.
