True Crime Comics v1 #3 (#2), 1948 - Having accomplished a masterpiece in the previous issue,
continues his contributions to this pre-code crime series. His interior story only meets expectations, but it's his powerful cover that's noteworthy. A man machine-gunned from behind is jarring enough, but Cole conveys the "why" with some creative typography. Compositionally, I like how the smoke from the weapon drifts upward toward the masthead / trade dress. This issue also includes art by Dick Sprang. /// select Cole cover
