    Stories and art by Robert Leslie Bellem, Adolphe Barreaux, Gene Leslie and Douglas March. Despite the title, not true "crime" comics, but mystery comics featuring detective heroes.

Reporter Ray Hale investigates a "dope smuggler" who uses remote-control airplanes - but is beautiful Jane trying to help Ray, or kill him? Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective investigates after movie star Lana Lane seemingly murders a TV host during a live broadcast - but something doesn't add up.
