Canadian Edition. Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Fred Guardineer, Claude Moore, Tony DiPreta, and Charles Biro. 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. Mr. Crime narrates the tale of Clarence Reese, who wants to be like the famous gangsters he idolizes. Police investigate a shooting at a circus full of suspects, in a whodunit featuring the line "Who'd have believed that Waldo, the mind-reading midget, would turn out to be a blackmailer?" Killer Wilbur Stiles is undone by his well-known addiction to watching college basketball. Cover and first page feature a photo endorsement from police Captain Felix Lynch, approving of "this magazine as a good reading for red-blooded American youngsters."
