    Cover by Syd Shores. Stories and art by John Buscema, Rafael Astarita, Syd Shores, Harry Anderson, and Bill Woolfolk. 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. Gambler Irwin "The Cat" relies on his phenomenal luck to keep him alive. Three paroled ex-cons pull a robbery that goes horribly wrong, in an early story by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder the curious case of a dog in the nighttime. The Man With Nine Lives!; Start Screaming, It's Murder; Wanted: Harry A. Achey; Great Unsolved Mysteries: The Guilty Person Is...; Wanted: Bernard Lee Thomas; They All Died. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
