    Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by George Tuska and Charles Biro. The title that launched the crime comics genre, Crime Does Not Pay was noted for its violent pre-Code content and lurid tales of underworld life. Jerry the Kid is quick with his fists and quicker to make his way up the underworld ladder. Al Chalen thinks he's figured out a way out of prison, as long as no one looks at his gun too closely. Small-time gangster Putty, who looks a little like Jimmy Olsen, betrays his cop brother to get in good with the mob. Also featuring a vintage ad for "Space Specs" - mini-binoculars that wear like eyeglasses. Jerry The Kid's One-Way Ticket; Al Chalen and His Wooden Gun; I'm Wrong, I'm Right!; The Scapegoat; Joe "Big Mouth" Fenwek. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
