Art by Warren Broderick, T. Ward and Jimmy Maxwell. A pre-Code title guaranteed to provide lurid covers and art, as women both historical and fictional commit murder and other heinous acts. This issue is a reprint of issue #4 with a new cover that happens to be one of the most violent covers of the entire run (and one not depicting a crime by a woman). Kitty Sarlo and her crony Sam hatch a scheme to get hapless soldiers drunk and then rob them; Foul-mouthed but beautiful Nellie turns to murder when a safecracking job goes wrong; Actress Connie Hale gets involved in a diamond-smuggling racket. Kitty Sarlo: The Female Leech; Nitro Nellie: The Savage Safe-Smashers; The Diamond of Kor-el-Maninoor; Man Trap. Final issue of the series. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
