    Crime Detective Comics Volume 2 (1950) 5

    Cover by Dan Zolnerowich. Stories and art by Leo Morey, Dan Zolnerowich, John Prentice, Charles Raab and Dick Briefer. Tales of crime and mobsters, both true and fictional, a prime example of the genre that thrived in the years before the Comics Code. In a story with art by Dick Briefer, a swindler targets a con woman when he learns about her inheritance, but who's conning whom? An ice-cream vendor is casing an armored car delivery, and his cart hides a tommy-gun rather than tutti-frutti. The Queen's forces seek a way into pirate captain Red Dog's stronghold in the Florida Keys. Bessie's Little Darling; War of the Empties; One Afternoon in Brooklyn; The Old Con's Story; Scarface of the Keys; One of Uncle Sam's Muscles. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
