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. Ex-convict Vincent Piazzero decides to go into bootlegging upon his release. Daniel Jos uses his good looks and refined manner to con his way to a fortune in gems from wealthy suckers. A killer distinguishes himself by singing to his victims as he robs them, but this also provides his downfall (in a story featuring a victim named "Palais."). Also featuring a vintage PSA for wartime resource conservation on the home front. 10 Years of Terror, Vincent Piazzero; Connoisseur Of Crime; Case of the Confident Killer; The Old Man of Crime; Profit in Corpses; The Would Be Perfect Crime; The Singing Slayer; Whodunnit. 48 pages, Full Color.
