Remember the "Good Ol' Days" When We Could, More Often Then Not, Trust the FBI?
To demonstrate this, we submit Exhibit A, an excerpt from Dell's Four Color Comics #1069: The FBI Story (1959), an adaptation of the movie of the same name!
Adapted by writers Eric Freiwald and Robert Schaefer and ilustrated by Alex Toth, the movie covered the career of "everyman" agent Chip Hardesty played by Jimmy Stewart, from 1924 to the "present" of 1959, fighting bootleggers, Nazis, the KKK, and, of course, Russkie Commies!
Of course, there was no CGI to "de-age" Stewart for the chronoligically-earlier scenes, so they depended on makeup and hair dye for those scenes.

The flick was filmed with the full cooperation of the FBI, since J Edgar Hoover had total approval over the final edit!
Here's the trailer for the movie, which features a cameo by J Edgar...
