    Cover by Ellis Chambers. Stories and art by Edd Ashe, Paul Parker, Frank Sieminski and Ed Waldman. Starting as a brutal pre-Code true-crime comic in its early issues, Gangsters Cant Win later evolved into a standard mystery-detective title. Inspector Dan Mundy reluctantly teams with his rival, female reporter Ida Lee, while investigating a murder at sea aboard a pleasure cruise. Ascot-wearing, pipe-smoking reporter Link Shields loves to solve crimes in his column, but the latest life under threat is his own. An ex-sign-painter uses his skills with signs to turn to crime, resulting in some creative criminal sign usage. Surprise at Buoy 13; The Case of the Deadly Dahlia; Ambush Aboard Ship; Force of Habit; The Corpse's Clue; Signs of Crime. Final issue of the series. 52 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
