The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe. Story by Erle Stanley Gardner. Art and cover by Paul Norris. Pioneering comics publisher David McKay's Feature Book was the first US comic book to devote complete issues to a single character. This issue featured an adaptation of the thirteenth Perry Mason mystery novel by Erle Stanley Gardner, one of the few Perry Mason comic books. A wealthy older woman seems to have kleptomania, which might explain her shoplifting - but not why she doesn't remember shooting the man she's accused of murdering. The cover reads "A Picturization of a Best Seller," one of the few uses of the awkward term for a comics adaptation. Featuring art by Paul Norris (the creator of Aquaman). 32 pages, Full Color.
