Stories and art by Tex Blaisdell and others. Starting as a brutal pre-Code true-crime comic in its early issues, Gangsters Cant Win later evolved into a standard mystery-detective title. Lefty Schwartz is done in by his own cronies when the heat gets too hot, in a story inspired by real-life gangster Dutch Schultz. No one suspects that a quiet, suburban family man leads a secret life as a bank robber. In 1945, a gangster targets a profitable bookie joint in Chicago. Suicide on Sound Stage Seven; Mystery of the Murder in the Penthouse; Lefty Schwartz; The Ghost of Mrs. Hicks; One Eye's Gang; Death Holds the Joker; Frankie the Pug. 52 pages, Full Color.
