    Stories and art by Bob Forgione and others. Pre-Code crime comics from Charlton, sometimes published under its short-lived Capitol or Law and Order imprints. "Under the heavy mist that envelopes the countryside a wild-eyed, desperate man stumbles and crawls through the dense foliage of the marshes that surround State Prison. Behind him in the near distance, the baying of hounds, and the wail of the prison siren put speed in his aching legs, and fear in his pounding heart!" Pure pulp gold, and that's just the opening caption. Olympic swimmer Cathy Hodges investigates a murder mystery involving a drowning and jewel robbery, and her swimming ability comes in handy. Plus the debut of the Nick and Nora-like detective team Mr. and Mrs. Chase, who would become series mainstays. Crime Fighting: The Microspectroscope; Mr. and Mrs. Chase Mystery: The Black Sheep; Sucker; Cathy Hodges: Mr. Antwerp Blue; Radio Patrol. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
