Mr. Risk #2
In "The Case of the Psycopathic Lady," a 1950 Ace Magazines thriller, Cameron Curtis schemes to inherit his uncle’s fortune by enlisting entertainer Linda Shane to impersonate his sister—only to plot her murder once the money is secured. With sharp, moody art by Gene Colan, the story unfolds as private investigator Kirk Mason steps in to protect Linda and bring the real criminals to justice. The cover, by Warren Kremer, captures the tension with a stark, noir-inspired image of danger and deception.
