    Cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Dick Giordano, Vince Alascia, John Belfi and Maurice Whitman. Racket Squad's focus on swindlers and con games allowed it to survive the Comics Code longer than most Pre-Code crime comics. Harry's setup to process the charitable donations of wealthy families seems legit for years - but he's playing the "long con." Phony contractors sell shoddy patios to homeowners who didn't bother to read the fine print, leaving the Racket Squad looking for a legal loophole. Charles Ponzi is a con artist who specializes in the infamous swindle still known today as a Ponzi scheme. The Smoothest Spiel of Them All; Sure Well Build Your Patio; Its Costing You; Cut the Ace; Ponzi the Half Pint Swindler; Cleaning Up the Races. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
