    Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Tony DiPreta, Fred Guardineer, Claude Moore, and Charles Biro. 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 Les Voyles, whose capture by the police involves a chase across a roller-skating rink, in a story with possible art by future "Flash Gordon" artist Dan Barry. In 1919, a cop uses chemical analysis to discover the truth about a double murder in a small-town. A story that dares the reader to figure out which member of a formerly wealthy family killed their ex-hired hand, who managed to turn the tables on them. The Long Manhunt for Les Voyles; On the Level; The Photo-Finish of Josiah Gingham; Our Police Hall of Fame; Once a Killer!; Who Dunnit? 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
