    Cover by Syd Shores. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Leav, Vince Alascia, and Bill Woolfolk. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator.

Two shipwreck survivors in a raft realize there's only enough water left for one of them. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder a royal murder mystery. "Crime Lab" detectives "Loot" and "Doc" investigate a man who believes he killed a gambler while drunk, but something doesn't add up.
