Crime Clinic #5
In "No Second Chance," penitentiary librarian Harvey Sheppard stands accused of murdering his wife, but psychiatrist Dr. Rodgers isn't so sure the man is guilty—especially when he begins to suspect Harvey might be shielding the real culprit: his wife’s former lover. With stark, expressive art by John Prentice and sharp, moody inks by the same hand, this 1952 Crime Clinic tale unfolds with a quiet intensity that lingers long after the final panel. The cover, a striking portrait by Norman Saunders, captures the weight of guilt and doubt in a single frame.
