Cover by John Buscema. Stories and art by John Buscema, Chuck Miller, Mort Lawrence, Charles Miller, Syd Shores and Bill Woolfolk. 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. An embezzler plans the perfect murder, or so he thinks, in an early story (and cover) by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. "Crime Lab" detectives "Loot" and "Doc" investigate a killing where the only clue is a piece of string. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder the mystery of a burning car and the man who died in it. Murder Inc.; The Price of Murder; Wanted: Courtney Vincent Collins; Great Unsolved Mysteries: The Case of Too Many Clues; Wanted: Alfred S. Dutton; Crime Lab: The Clue of the String That Strayed; Wanted by a Killer: One Witness. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
