    Art by Rudy Palais and others. Fox Feature Syndicate creates a pre-Code title guaranteed to provide lurid covers and art, as women both historical and fictional commit murder and other heinous acts. The issue and the series leads off with one of the most famous female outlaws, bank robber Bonnie Parker (and her partner Clyde Barrow); Don and Bud Hoover try to get away with murder; Frankie Yale's bid for underworld power earns him a nickname: the Al Capone of Brooklyn. The art on the cover is not up (or down) to later standards, but the dialogue is priceless. Bonnie Parker: Queen of the Gun Molls; Murder Will Out; The Hoover Brothers: Brother Rats; Frankie Yale: The Brooklyn Butcher. 36 pages, Full Color. In order of appearance: "Bonnie Parker, Queen of the Gun Molls"; "The Hoover Brothers, Brother Rats" retitled and reprinted as "Hideous M-U-R-D-E-R" in Startling Terror Tales (1953-54 2nd Series) #9; and "Frankie Yale, The Brooklyn Butcher". "Murder Will Out, A True Crime Story" text story retitled and reprinted as "Wanton Terror!! A True Crime Story" in Startling Terror Tales (1953-54 2nd Series) #8. Cover price $0.10.
