    Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Bob Fujitani, Fred Guardineer, Norman Maurer, 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. A subway worker witnesses a murder, and his testimony could bring down a bootlegging empire - if he survives. Kevin carefully murders his successful twin brother and takes his place, only to learn his brother had skeletons in his closet - literally. Pete Carney masterminds a prison break by disguising himself and his cellmates as the warden's personal cook, in a story very similar to issue #69's "Tiger Harkness" story. Also featuring a vintage ad for "Lev Gleason Comics picture trading cards." Eye Witness; The Fatal Switch; Pete Carney; The Plush Pen; "Country" Adams, The Corn-Fed Killer. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
