Design of the Week Redux YULETIDE HOMICIDE

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!
(Unless it sells really well, as this design has!
Then we give it another week!)
This week...it's a Yuletide homicide!
A never-reprinted cover from the 1960s featuring the police investigating the apparent demise of Kris Kringle!
Whodunit?
We have no idea, but it'll be a crime if you don't order a kool kollectible using this artwork for a loved one (particularly one in law enforcement) as a fun stocking stuffer!

POLICE TRAP and the Human Side of Law Enforcement

After the senseless killing of five police officers in Dallas...
...it's important to realize that police officers/cops/the Five-0 or whatever you call them, are people like you and me, doing their jobs.
Yeah, there are a few scuzzballs, but every line of work has them.
Same with the police.
In that vein, have a look at our "brother" RetroBlog, Crime and Punishment.
In particular, the stories from a short-lived 1950s title called Police Trap, which gave us a look at cops as people, in the same vein as TV's Naked City, also from the 1950s, or the later Hill Street Blues.
And, if you see a cop on the street, smile and say "Hi!"
Let them know you appreciate them.
