Cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio, Bill Molno, Vince Alascia, and Sal Trapani. Racket Squad's focus on swindlers and con games allowed it to survive the Comics Code longer than most Pre-Code crime comics. An accident and a smashed window is but the first act of Tuffy's loan-sharking scheme targeting a small-business owner. A policewoman goes undercover to discover how a phony medium is conning the wealthy and bereaved. Con Burkley makes a tidy profit selling other people's houses at a bargain - even though they're not for sale. Through the Broken Window; The Spirits; Rancid; Train Robbers; Mansions for Sale; His Brothers Keeper. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
