Racket Squad in Action comic books issue 11

Cover by Steve Ditko. Stories and art by Steve Ditko, Joe Shuster, Carl Memling, Frank Frollo, John Belfi and Sy Moskowitz. Pre-Code crime comics from Charlton, focusing on swindlers and con games. Gangsters hire a painter to make an ordinary horse look exactly like a million-dollar race horse, in a story with early art (and cover) by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. Swindlers pose as IRS agents to fleece a gambler, in a story with art most likely by Joe Shuster. (If so, that makes this the rare comic to contain art by the creators of both Superman and Spider-Man - if not in the same story.) Con artists employ a beautiful redheaded woman for "Operation Flash Bulb," getting pictures of conventioneers in embarrassing situations and then blackmailing them. Plus advice to the reader on avoiding con artists. Case of the Income Tax Frauds; Botticelli of the Bangtails; Not So Dumb; Photo Frame-Up; Paper Hangers of Death. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
