Deadline the Story Behind the Headline

Deadline the Story Behind the Headline, a single-issue comic from 1957, offers a focused look at the pressures and ethics of journalism through the lens of its creator, John R. Manning. Published as a one-shot, it stands as a compact, early example of a non-superhero story that explores real-world professional drama, notable for its singular, self-contained narrative that predates the modern era of extended comic runs.
