Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Fred Guardineer, Claude Moore, Tony DiPreta, and Charles Biro. The title that launched the crime comics genre, Crime Does Not Pay was noted for its violent pre-Code content and lurid tales of underworld life. Mr. Crime narrates the tale of Spike Spitz, who double-crosses his partners after they help him swindle a gold mine, in a story with possible art by future "Flash Gordon" artist Dan Barry. Jack Roscar tries to use the theater as a cover for his crimes, and finds a lot of bad actors to enable him. A story that dares the reader to figure out which heir killed for an $11 million payoff - and one of the suspects is a ghost. Cover and first page feature a photo endorsement from Mary Sullivan, NYPD Women's Bureau Chief, approving of "this magazine as a good moral influence on our youth." Spike Spitz; This'll Kill Ya; Jack Roscar; On The Level; Our Police Hall of Fame; Frankie Darrell vs. Lieutenant Jim Scott; Who Dunnit. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
