Police Comics #115

This May 1952 Quality Comics entry delivers exactly what the masthead promises — suspense, mystery, and intrigue — with a cover by Reed Crandall (pencils) and Chuck Cuidera (inks) that grabs you immediately. A wild-eyed, yellow-faced man in a dark suit screams in sheer panic as skeletal and clawing hands close in on him from the right, while a horrified young man and woman flee in the background against a blazing red backdrop. The featured story, Ken Shannon in "Don't Let Them Kill Me!", promises the kind of nerve-shredding tension that made Police Comics one of the decade's most compelling anthology titles.
