Cover by Matt Baker. Stories and art by Gene Colan, Matt Baker, and Enrico Bagnoli. Pre-Code crime comics from St. John with an above-average lineup of artists. Believing that "juvenile delinquency must be stamped out!" patrolman Bob goes undercover in the city's teen gangs, in a story with early art by future Marvel legend Gene Colan. Crooked contractors commit murder after murder to conceal the truth about the sub-standard houses they're selling to veterans, in a story with art by good-girl art legend Matt Baker. Blonde bad girl Millie has a scheme to get her hands on the money from the bank job, even if it means turning her companions against each other, in the sort of story that a young Frank Miller's parents might have read to him at bedtime.
