Cover by John Giunta. Stories and art by Maurice del Bourgo and Mort Lawrence. 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. Brothers Hugh, Ray and Roy start with train robbery, and end as the subjects of an FBI manhunt. Dwight is a wealthy son of privilege, but he turns to robbery, murder and jailbreak. Greed for gold turns deadly in the rainforests of the Matto Grosso, but the jungle takes its revenge. The Twin Killers; Son of Satan!; The Pay Off!; The Case of the Corpse in the Woods; Terror of 3 States, Wilbur Underhill. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
