    Cover by Syd Shores. Stories and art by Mort Leav, Harry Anderson, Mort Lawrence, Charles Miller, 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. Tony tries to hide out in a small town after a bank job gone wrong, but he's still used to big-city ways. "Crime Lab" detectives "Loot" and "Doc" try to protect a man threatened by mobsters. The Unsolved Crime contest invites readers to ponder a murdered teacher whose letters revealed many secret lovers. The Beach Mob; Wrong Way; Wanted: Henry Randolph Mitchell; Unsolved Crime: Who Murdered the School Teacher...And Why?; Crime Lab: Shot-In the Dark; Murder Stalks the Bowery. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
