Real Fact Comics #12

Real Fact Comics #12 (January–February 1948) packs three true-life stories into one ten-cent DC package, with the cover by Charles Paris setting an action-packed tone: a fearless marshal in a yellow hat disarms an outlaw with his bare fists while a second gun-toting figure watches from the background — a vivid illustration of the cover's promise of "the thrilling saga of the marshal who fought six-guns with his fists." Alongside that Western tale, the issue spotlights "Boss of the Big House," the story of Sing Sing's Warden Lawes, plus a special installment on how G-Men are trained. With scripts from Jack Schiff, Mort Weisinger, and Bernie Breslauer and interior art by Win Mortimer, this is the kind of fact-based adventure anthology that made Real Fact Comics a genuinely engaging read in 1948.
