Big Town (1951), DC's Big Town comic book ran 50 issues, from January, 1951 to March–April, 1958. The comic book was edited by Whitney Ellsworth, and the contributing artists included Dan Barry, Carmine Infantino, Gil Kane, John Lehti, Manny Stallman and Alex Toth, with most of the later scripts written by John Broome.

Based on the TV and radio show of the same name, Big Town lasted six years on television and for 50 issues as a DC comic book series.
The stories revolved around The Illustrated Press, the city's largest newspaper, and the people who worked for it, most particularly managing editor Steve Wilson (played by Patrick McVey from 1950-1954 and by Mark Stevens from 1954-1956). Five different actresses had the role of reporter Lorelei Kilbourne.
