Features some truly gruesome pre-code treasures: live burial, hypodermic needle panels, bondage, Chinese water torture, and decapitation by dogs!

Cover by Bill Fraccio. Stories and art by Bill Fraccio, Tony Tallarico and A. C. Hollingsworth. Pre-Code tales of two-fisted criminals and the scales of justice from Story Comics. By this point, Fight Against Crime was edging away from crime stories to EC-style horror, as these stories demonstrate. Escaped convict Tony uses a snake to get rid of his wealthy wife, but meets an ironic fate. A fired college professor helps a gang of crooks plan a museum heist, and winds up as one of the exhibits. Gangster Lew uses dogs to get rid of his partner in crime, but meets an ironic fate, creating a sort of theme for the issue.
