    Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Charles Biro and others. The title that launched the crime comics genre, Crime Does Not Pay was noted for its violent pre-Code content and lurid tales of underworld life. Mr. Crime narrates the tale of Sap Doretti, the violent thug whose lack of smarts makes him the perfect middle-management gangster, or so his bosses think. A stool pigeon faces mob reprisals after he testifies about his part in a robbery. A two-bit hood puts pressure on his aged mother after gangsters give him two days to pay off his gambling debts. Also featuring a vintage ad for "Lev Gleason Comics picture trading cards." The Tragic Tale of "Sap" Doretti; Kangaroo Justice; Vendetta; 3 Time Loser; Momma's Boy. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
