Both of these were my first picks! Now I'm really going to have to dig deep. |

What's more disturbing than catching an intruder breaking into your bedroom window? Hmm... maybe finding out said intruder is wearing a creepy gas mask. Fawcett gets into the crime genre with this dandy.  The time Wes Dodds went in the wrong window. |

I would tend to doubt that but too lazy to look it up myself. Looks early 50s especially since Fawcette quit the comics business (except Dennis the Menace) around 1954 |

Caught in the act of apprehending the criminal.  I'd love to learn how they came up with that recoloring of Flash #252  EKS Almanah did that a lot. The interiors were Black & White so the only thing I can think of is to make the characters on the cover more distinctive. What I can't understand is why was Flash given the alternate treatment and not the Elongated Man? |

Now that you mention it, I guess Flash might have been a comic book character but he wasn't commie enough. YEAH that's it, and of course the criminal is a Robin Hood type with RED hands that steals from the capitalist institution, therefore supporting the country's ideology.  I'm afraid Flash is the bad guy here. |
