Cover by A. C. Hollingsworth. Stories and art by Frank Frazetta, Robert Leslie Bellem, Max Plaisted, and Newton H. Alfred. Despite the title, not true "crime" comics, but mystery comics featuring detective heroes. Dan Turner attends a "midnight men's party" where the entertainment is magician Charm Marlowe, whose costume is skimpier than Zatanna's. But when a man dies by snakebite, Dan suspects "premeditated killery." Gail Ford goes undercover as a maid to get the drop on robbers targeting wealthy homeowners. Sally the Sleuth goes undercover as a model to find the deadly secret behind two women's deaths, in a story with plentiful good-girl art. Plus a classic religious PSA featuring early art by fantasy and comics legend Frank Frazetta. Gail Ford, Girl Friday: The Fortune-Teller Robberies; Ray Hale: After-Hours Killing; Sally the Sleuth: Tumbling Corpses; Prayer Works Wonders; Theft by Appointment; Dan Turner Hollywood Detective: Mysto-Magic Murder. 32 pages, Full Color.
