    Cover by L. B. Cole. Pre-Code crime comics from L. B. Cole's Star Publications. Prison guards try to figure out how a condemned killer has become overcome with remorse. The saga of Alvin "Creepy" Karpis, from "Public Enemy #1" to longtime Alcatraz inmate. Police seek a serial killer who marks his victims with a circle in lipstick, in a case eerily reminiscent of the Zodiac murders (which happened decades later). This story and issue was referenced in both the text and illustration #32 of the anti-comics classic Seduction of the Innocent. Crime of Conscience; The Forger; The Planted Clue; Madman of Murder; Robbery with Interest; The Case of the Crimson Killer. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
