Cover by Syd Shores. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Lawrence, Syd Shores, 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. An early story by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. A Reefer Madness-type story about dealers in marijuana and cocaine. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder the murder of Hollywood director William Desmond Taylor, also with art by Buscema. The Mad Magician of Crime; The Horror Weed; Wanted: Charles Lester Mault; Murder Message; Crime Lab: The Hit-and-Run Killer; Great Unsolved Mysteries: The Mystery of the Murdered Movie Star; Wanted: Steven William Davenport; Hideout From Murder. 48 pages, Full Color.
