    Cover by Mort Leav. Stories and art by Mort Leav and Mort Lawrence. 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. This issue was cited in the text (page 277) of the famous anti-comics classic, Seduction of the Innocent. The Trigger Happy Trio winds up on the wrong end of Al Capone and his baseball bat. The true story of the first escape from Alcatraz. On the American frontier, the Harpe brothers make a reputation as the Sawney Beans of America, with robbery, murder, and perhaps even cannibalism. The Trigger Happy Trio!; The Battle of the Rock!; The Horrible Harpes; Wild Bill Hickok; The Butchers. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
