    Cover by Sheldon Moldoff. Stories and art by Maurice Whitman and others. Violent pre-Code tales of crime and the law from DS Publishing. This issue was cited in the text (page 95) of the famous anti-comics classic, Seduction of the Innocent. Beautiful Connie uses her looks to trap victims, but cannot escape the law, in a story featuring an unusual image (for the time) of a female criminal "getting the chair." Ma Beamus and her children become notorious for their crime spree, in a story inspired by Ma Barker (that later caught the eye of Dr. Wertham). A maid borrows jewelry from a client, intending to give it back, but then her crooked boyfriend sees an opportunity for crime. Plus a vintage ad for a "Personal Comic Album," used to store hole-punched issues of classic comic books! ("Make Less Work for Mom!") Mother Knows Best!; The Notorious Angel Face; Case of the Crooked Clock; Envy; Blazing Guns; Crime at Midnight; The Human Gorilla. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
