Police Files

A single-issue 1951 publication from Streamline, Police Files is a brief snapshot of the crime-comics era, offering a hard-boiled glimpse into law enforcement's war on racketeers and hoodlums. Though short-lived, it stands as a minor artifact of the pre-Comics Code landscape, when publishers could still lean into gritty, unvarnished police procedural storytelling without the constraints that soon followed.
