Depicting the strip’s iconic titular character during the short timespan in which he was shown sporting a moustache, at a police press conference philosophizing on the ruinous life consequences facing any would-be lawbreaker: “You see, after a first offense, a criminal walks in the shadows. The shadows get darker and darker till he reaches the spotlight at the showup.” Framed and matted to an overall size of 9 ¼ x 21”. Faint original editorial annotations, else fine.
