    Cover by Mort Leav. Stories and art by William Woolfolk, Mort Leav, Maurice Del Bourgo, and Mort Lawrence. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator.

Strait-laced, seemingly honest bank teller Mortimer must arrange a bank robbery to cover up the money he's been embezzling. A reporter investigates a drive-by murder and finds evidence the cops don't have. Private eye The Tracer is hired to prove a charity organizer is siphoning funds, but when his client is murdered, it becomes personal. Also featuring a vintage ad for "authentic replicas" of WWII Axis handguns. The Strange Case of Mortimer Dollard; The World's Dirtiest Racket; Wanted: Walter Evans Connell; Public Enemies; Strands of Hair; Wanted: Joseph Charles Bartos; Danger Stalks the City; Wanted: George Emerous Morgan. 48 pages, Full Color.
