First story is pretty good with how it spans time and references the Cold War. The other stories are not so interesting and the setting barely plays any part, especially in the final and longest story, which seems like it might have been rejected from a then contemporary Charlton romance comic. Not much is made of the titular Inspector nor having Scotland Yard backing him up. I don’t recommend it as a good read and the art, while serviceable, isn’t very distinguished. I imagine any kid buying this one with his hard earned allowance back in the mid-50’s would have been disappointed.

Cover and first story by Mike Sekowsky.
The cover by the way, is a variation on this one,
Underworld Crime 1
/?dlid=25310
It has the same elements, but in a different configuration. ]
Sekowsky was involved with both books, so not a co-incidence.
Was this title part of the Fawcett inventory that Charlton inherited? .
