Kerry, Tom. Tom Kerry is a hard-boiled, two-fisted, gun-wielding District Attorney who believes in leading from the front, especially during shoot-outs, which are surprisingly common in his job. Most of his enemies are ordinary criminals, but some are more fantastic, as in “The Robot Killer.” Kerry appears in stories with titles like “The Sport of Czars,” “The Maori Spear,” and Slick Severne's Bootleggers."
