    Stories and art by Howard Alexander and Ed Goldfarb. Pre-Code tales of two-fisted criminals and the scales of justice from Story Comics. By this point, Fight Against Crime was edging away from crime stories to EC-style horror, as these stories demonstrate. A gangster blackmails a movie star into letting him realize his dreams of acting, which turns out to be a bad idea for all concerned. Killers abduct a carnival fortune-teller, who predicts their fiery deaths. A doctor who gets his patients hooked on morphine meets an ironic fate. Hollywood Death Trap!; Mountain Murder; Smart Cons Don't Talk; Fires of Death; The Big Dope. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10. Grade: PR 0.5 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
