About the Art
This striking May 1947 issue of Clue Comics reflects Hillman Publications’ transition into crime-focused storytelling during the post-war Golden Age of comics. The cover, rendered with dynamic precision, features Gun Master in a tense confrontation, capturing the era’s fascination with noir-inspired drama. The vivid composition—complete with shattered glass, a smoking revolver, and a dramatic escape attempt—evokes the gritty allure of mid-century pulp fiction.
Gun Master, an unconventional hero with an anti-gun ethos, stands out as a cultural anomaly amidst the rising popularity of crime comics. The bold use of color and shadow underscores the moral ambiguity central to post-war narratives.
