    Cover by Al Camy. Stories and art by Al Camy, Bob Butts, Louis Dresser, and Bob Jenney. Like many of DS Publishing's crime comics, Pay-Off transformed slowly from violent pre-Code gangster stories to milder mysteries featuring heroic detectives. Reporter Margo Mason investigates "The Mystic Eye" when a wealthy jeweler is targeted by a fortune-teller because of his well-known superstitions. After a disfiguring accident ruins her career, a fashion model gone mad targets other models for murder. Joe and his partner go on a robbery-murder spree, but one thing sets Joe apart from smarter crooks: he keeps a diary. The Mystic Eye; Case Of the Missing Bullets; Killer Dillers; Carbon Copy Death; Double Identity; The Tell-Tale Nails; The Hat Box Murders; The Pennsylvania Bluebeard. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
