Police Comics #122

Quality Comics' long-running crime anthology delivers a tense December 1952 cover that pulls no punches: in the foreground, a menacing stubble-faced man in a brown suit grabs another man by the tie, his victim recoiling in desperation, while a third figure in yellow looms threateningly through a shattered window in the background. The cover — pencilled by Reed Crandall and Joe Orlando and inked by Chuck Cuidera — sets the stage for Ken Shannon, "crime-busting private eye," as he goes up against "The Lonely Hearts Killer," with T-Man's "The Red Robbers" rounding out this issue's promise of suspense, mystery, adventure, and intrigue.
