Crime Must Stop (1952) comic books

Stories and art by Mort Lawrence, Paul Reinman and Bernie Krigstein. A low print run and high price for the time (15 cents!) combined to make this one-shot among the rarest of the era's crime comics, with perhaps 20-100 copies surviving. A fugitive criminal takes an ill-advised detour to visit his long-lost daughter. A spy in Washington takes advantage of the distraction provided by nearby sunbathing women. A cave-in spurs a miner to quit his job and turn to crime as a getaway driver. Both of the last two stories feature early art by EC legend Bernie Krigstein. A Trigger in the Family; Rusty Bullets; The Sunshine Courier; The Black Chain; The Loaded Dutchman; The Cardboard Lamb; The Stone Net; The Gypsy Water Curse. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
