    Cover by Syd Shores. Stories and art by Rafael Astarita, Mort Lawrence, J. Deckter, Mort Leav, Bill Woolfolk, Bob Rogers, and Syd Shores. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator. The twist is that the publisher offers wanted posters (and rewards) for real-life criminals. This issue was cited in the text (page 160) of the famous anti-comics classic, Seduction of the Innocent. Gangland killer Steve wants to split up with his girlfriend, but she knows too much. A new contest feature invites readers to send in their solutions to real-life unsolved mysteries. "Crime Lab" detectives "Loot" and "Doc" use aspirin to catch a robber. The Arson Racket!; Don't Let Me Die!; Wanted: Glen Roy Wright; Shoe Shine; Wanted: Morley Vernon King; Great Unsolved Mysteries: Who Killed Emma Brewster?; Crime Lab: The Clue of the Aspirin Tablets; Lady Killer. 48 pages, Full Color.
