A detective is assigned to catch the escaped convicts who've been leading cops on a nationwide chase. Feuding street kids in Hell's Kitchen grow up to work on opposite sides of the law, and their feud turns deadly. A comic that dares the reader to figure out the mysterious connection between safecrackers and a master jewel thief, in a whodunit with multiple clues and an upside-down panel for the answer. Also featuring a vintage ad for Lev Gleason Comics Picture Trading Cards. Mission: Get 'Em!; Flight from Fury; A Time for Murder; The Cop from Hell's Kitchen; The Case of the Elusive Go-Between. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
