Pre-Code Classics: Operation Peril

A 2019 PS Artbooks collection reprinting the complete 1950s run of Operation Peril, this three-issue series spotlights the Cold War-era espionage and adventure tales written by Richard Hughes and illustrated by Ken Bald. Part of the publisher's Pre-Code Classics line, it preserves the unvarnished, pre-Comics Code Authority storytelling of the era, offering a compact look at a forgotten corner of genre comics. For fans of mid-century pulp action, it’s a neat time capsule of atomic-age paranoia and derring-do.
