Stories and art by John D'Agostino, A. C. Hollingsworth and Hy Fleishman. Pre-Code tales of two-fisted criminals and the scales of justice from Story Comics. By this point, Fight Against Crime was edging away from crime stories to EC-style horror, as these stories demonstrate. Mob boss "Gassy" Webb meets an ironic fate when he stows away on a cargo ship to escape prosecution. In the frozen wastes of northern Canada, Rod murders his partner in an ice-cave that was used for native burials, but meets poetic justice. Rats Die by Gas; Corpse in the Ice; Picture of Death; Death Was the Winner; Shaft of Death. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
