    Cover by Mort Leav. Stories and art by Mort Leav, Maurice Del Bourgo, and Bill Woolfolk. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator. The twist is that the publisher offers wanted posters (and rewards) for real-life criminals. In the 1880s, the arrival of the Black Hand extortion racket signals the birth of the Mafia in the US. Detectives investigate a series of murders that seem to be linked to a revenge scheme. Private eye Skip Tracer is jumped by a killer masquerading as a deputy, in a story with some eerie art. The Black Hand; The Tombstone; Guilty or Not Guilty; Sleepy-Eyed Killer; The Badge Bandit. 52 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
