    • Water damage. Cover detached at one staple.

    Cover by Bill Molno and Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Dick Giordano, Dick Wood, Bill Molno, Bill Ely, Vince Alascia, Sal Trapani, and Chic Stone. Racket Squad's focus on swindlers and con games allowed it to survive the Comics Code longer than most Pre-Code crime comics. An early look at auto "repo men" (before that was seen as a legit concern) portrays them as legal car thieves, working for shifty dealers with inflated repayment plans. The con man known as "The Silver Fox" specializes in emptying out houses while their owners are on vacation. A phony doctor swindles patients with unorthodox cures and lets them deal with the consequences. The Legal Auto Theft Racket; The Old Shell Game; Ill Steal Your Home; Hush-Hush; Medical Menace; The Swiss Watches. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
