PERRY MASON "Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe" Conclusion

When Last We Left the Hard-Boiled Lawyer (yes, it is a thing")...

There's a helluva lot of plot here.
Reread Part 1 and Part 2, then join us as the trial begins...

Until two issues of a 1960s Perry Mason comic based on the TV show, this (and the previous issue we showed) were Perry's only comic book appearances!

Speaking of TV...

...here's a pre-Star Trek Leonard Nimoy as Pete Chennery in the adaptation of "Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe.

BTW, in the 1963 Perry Mason TV episode, Chennery was the murderer!

Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe

(the novel this comic was adapted from)

PERRY MASON "Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...lunching in a department store's restaurant, Perry and his secretary, Della, see an elderly woman who appears to be a shoplifter!

There's an incredible amount of plot in the previous chapter involving stolen jewels, drunken gem dealers, and blood on the sole of the shoplifter's shoe (Hence the title)!

So you should go back and read Part 1 before continuing here, after Perry discovers the second corpse in this tale...so far...

And with that, we take our leave until the surprising climax...

Tomorrow!
