    Published Jan 1953 by Capital.

    Crime and Justice (1951) 11 VG 4.0

    Starts Apr 4

    Cover by Lou Morales. Stories and art by Lou Morales, Art Capello, Frank Frollo, and Stan Campbell. Pre-Code crime comics from Charlton, sometimes published under its short-lived Capitol or Law and Order imprints. Mr. and Mrs. Chase are aided by teen gang "The Cobras" (who ride around in an Archie-like jalopy) while investigating a narcotics ring and a mad millionaire who keeps live alligators in his weird mansion. Not your typical crime-comics story. A small-time hood named Lippy still knows enough to bring down a major organized-crime syndicate. A detective flies out to Skull Lake to investigate killings that seem to be the work of a lake monster. Crime Clues: A Simple Case of Murder!; Mr. and Mrs. Chase: The Cobras; Rub-Out!; Plainly Poison; The Demon of Skull Lake; Radio Patrol: Case of the Bottled Murder. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
