Spy Fighters #13

Atlas Comics' Cold War spy anthology delivers pure tension in this March 1953 issue starring Federal Agent Clark Mason. Sol Brodsky's cover pulls you right into the action: Mason hurls a Soviet operative upside-down in a gritty industrial setting while a blonde female accomplice clutches a retrieved briefcase, enemy agents closing in from the background — the speech bubbles crackle with genuine menace. With interior art by Mac L. Pakula and writing by Robert Bernstein, Spy Fighters #13 captures the era's anxious espionage spirit at its sharpest, all for a dime.
