    Cover by Syd Shores. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Meskin, and Bill Woolfolk. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator. The twist is that the publisher offers wanted posters (and rewards) for real-life criminals. Chinese immigrant Chung Maio becomes involved with the Tong criminal gang, in an early story by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. Straight-arrow cop Harold survives multiple injuries in the line of duty, and just keeps on busting crooks. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder a widow's murder. Hatchet Man; The No. 1 Enemy; Wanted: Leo Bezemer; Great Unsolved Mysteries: Murder By Person Unknown; The Cop They Couldn't Kill! 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
