    Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Joe Kubert, Bob Powell, Tony Di Preta, Pete Morisi 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. A lost shoe on the highway leads police to a murder, and other clues provide the killer, in a story featuring early art by comics legend Joe Kubert. The lingering scent of perfume gives away the killer of a garage mechanic. The town bookie murders the town clerk, apparently, but detectives feel something doesn't add up. Hitchhike to Doom; A Million Is Too Much; The Clue of the Perfumed Bandit!; Oddly Enough; In Deep; Mighty Rookie; Lev Gleason's Quiz Time. Final issue of the series, after 13 years and at least three different content "codes." 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
