Strange Suspense Stories #17

"Beautiful Night for Murder!" kicks off with Tim Fenwick, a desperate criminal fleeing with two heavy bags of stolen cash, torn between surrendering to the police or paying off his ruthless creditor Ozzy. Penciled and inked by Dick Giordano in a stark, moody style, this 1954 Charlton thriller captures a tense, shadow-drenched moment of moral collapse. The cover, by Giordano and Vince Alascia, perfectly frames Fenwick’s grim dilemma under a moonlit sky.
