    The Case of the Crooked Candle. Story by Earl Stanley Gardner. Pioneering comics publisher David McKay presents illustrated versions of bestselling books, an early version of Classics Illustrated and the like. This issue is an adaptation of the 24th Perry Mason mystery novel by Erle Stanley Gardner. A corpse is found in a boat grounded at low tide. But a candle that stands at a steep angle may hold the key to revealing the murderer. An illustrated text version of the story, rather than straight comics. 64 pages, B&W. Cover price $0.15.
