Synopsis

The mayor-elect is killed the day before he is to take office.

Notes

title from cover

Same art as in many stories of this feature credited to Crandall. The inking is different from the cover, which is unmistakably like his later pen inking in the Warren magazines of the 60's. Not the same eyes in the story.

Untitled [Trail of the Preying Hawk]

Synopsis

Hack is pursuing a hit and run driver who turns out to be a part of a gang of bankrobbers.

Notes

The art is similar to Kirkpatrick's work on several Sally O'Neil in National Comics and Hack O'Hara in Crack Comics. Many faces in sideview popping in from the sides, bony noses in frontview, very wide trouser legs and also rather still standing figures.
