Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Carl Wessler, Fred Guardineer, and Charles Biro. A companion series to Crime Does Not Pay from the same publisher, slightly less violent and with more emphasis on police work. Wrongly imprisoned Johnny wants to join a prison break, but the other convicts don't think he should risk it. A nearsighted crook ends up in a crime version of that old Twilight Zone episode after he breaks his glasses, in a story hosted by Mr. Crime. A detective dares the reader to figure out which of four identically-dressed golf buddies murdered a man on a fairway, in a whodunit with multiple clues and an upside-down panel for the answer. Don't Let Johnny Go!; How They Were Trapped; Hotel Hood; On the Level; Blind As a Bat; Our Police Hall of Fame; This'll Kill Ya!; Death On the Fairway. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
