    Cover by Mort Lawrence. Stories and art by Mort Leav, Bill Woolfolk and Mort Lawrence. 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. Frank gets drawn into the Mob after he's caught pickpocketing a gang boss. The police are mystified when an escaped convict goes on robbing and killing after he's been declared dead for a month. Safecracker Thomas finds himself pursued by cops and crooks alike after he winds up with the loot from his latest job. Plus a vintage ad for a "Giant Wild West Singing Lariat." Man About Murder; Wanted: Paul Hensley Payton; Twice Dead Killer; The Telephone Booth; Trigger Man; Wanted: Delbert F. Visger; Death Trap. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
