Cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Bill Molno, Sal Trapani, Tom Canby and Vince Alascia. Crime comics from Charlton that (briefly) survived the arrival of the Comics Code. Blackie Nelson, "strong-arm man for a big-time racketeer," tries to elude Lefty Malone's men, in a story with tough-guy second-person narration and a "Sin City" feel. Slats and Whitey, on the lam after a hotel robbery, carjack a newlywed couple, in a final gritty story from this era of crime comics. And a Cold War-era spy story that may feature early art by good-girl art legend Matt Baker. Plus fun facts about crime detection, and a solve-it-yourself mystery. Simple yet dynamic cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Alascia. City Slicker; Roadblock; Take the Bait!!; Can You Solve This?; Little Al of the Secret Service: The Cafe of Four Nations; Routine Arrest; Crime Tracks: How Criminals Are Trapped; Minit Mystery. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
