    Cover by Mort Lawrence. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Leav, Bill Woolfolk, Syd Shores 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. An organized gang of swindlers and grifters targets racetracks. In the new series "Action Unlimited " (continued from issue #31), Tony Action locates Billy Chambers, but Billy tells him his father is a gangster with plans to take over the nation's crime syndicates. A greedy, unethical doctor has a secret practice tending to gangsters' wounds, in an early story by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema.
