    Cover by Mort Lawrence. Stories and art by Mort Leav, John Forte, and Mort Lawrence. 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. A trio of crooks aboard a boat gets into a running gun battle with a Coast Guard patrol. Diminutive Marty feels like a big man when he has a gun in his hand. A chemist kills the gangster who's extorting him, and thinks he's gotten away with it - until a mysterious figure shows up at his door. The Corpse Came C.O.D.; Wanted: James Boyd Guy; Little Man with a Big Gun; Don't Do It; Wanted: Lloyd Sampsell; Not Tough at All; An Act of Revenge; Wanted: Paul Wilson. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
