    Cover by L. B. Cole. Pre-Code crime comics from L. B. Cole's Star Publications. The "Flatheads" gang commits the first-ever armored car robbery on March 11, 1927. Attorney Ty Roper helps a bank robber escape justice, so that he can learn how to become the perfect criminal. A detective investigates when a concert violinist is strangled with his own violin string, in a story featuring art possibly by Matt Baker. Two other stories feature art that may be by Alvin Hollingsworth; if so, that makes this a rare issue to feature two of the pioneering African-American comics artists.
