    Volume 5 - 1st printing. Collects Crime Does Not Pay (1942-1955) #38-41. Witten by Dick Wood and Lev Gleason. Art and Cover by Biro. Foreword by Paul Gravett. One of the bestselling comics of the 1940s, Crime Does Not Pay focused on violent mobsters and murderous lowlifes who machine-gunned their way through the urban underworld . . . until justice landed them in the chair! In 1954, the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency targeted this comic series for its graphic violence, eventually leading to the creation of the repressive Comics Code Authority. Hardcover, 216 pages, full color. Cover price $49.99.
