    • Only 1 staple (manufacturing). 1 1/2" spine split from bottom.

    Cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Dick Giordano, Bill Molno, Vince Alascia, Charles Nicholas, and Jon D'Agostino. Racket Squad's focus on swindlers and con games allowed it to survive the Comics Code longer than most Pre-Code crime comics. When police crack down on pickpockets, "dip" Barney comes up with a new scheme involving a "third hand." (Although credited to Charles Nicholas, this story looks like it could be the work of future Superman artist Curt Swan.) A mechanic inflates auto-repair bills with unexpected charges, costing both his customer and the garage where he works dearly. Con men swindle people out of their life savings with promises of free "found" money. The Three-Handed Pickpocket; Overcharge; Lost Dog; Nothin for Somethin; Silver Sap; Missing Evidence. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
