    Cover by Sheldon Moldoff. Stories and art by Walter T. Johnson, Frank Bolle and Leonard Starr. Violent pre-Code tales of crime and the law from DS Publishing. Bill Batlen may be a crook and a killer, but his younger brother Andy wants to be just like him. Eddie Bendix may look like a kid, but he's a deadly menace. Marge Morrow escapes from prison, in a story with some Chester Gould-style bad-girl art. Extra-violent cover at least gives the law the upper hand, unlike some other covers of the crime-comics era. The Mad Dog Murderers; The Baby-Face Killer; Killers Inc.; Crime Curtain; The Female Menace; Murder for Millions. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
