    Cover by Johnny Craig. Stories by Gardner Fox, Johnny Craig and Al Feldstein. Art by Johnny Craig, Al Feldstein and Ann Brewster. E.C.'s Pre-Trend crime title started as adventure, changed to grisly crime stories and eventually metamorphosed into straight-up horror. Gangsters become accidental assassins after the rich guy they killed for his cash turns out to be a high-ranking Mob figure. Action girl Madelon goes in search of a legendary idol in the Blue Grottoes of the Mediterranean, and encounters a very real tentacled Kraken, in a story featuring art by rare 1940s female artist Ann Brewster. A handsome killer has a Dorian Gray relationship with his mirror in Double-Crossed: The Finger of Death, the first story by future EC legend Al Feldstein. The Slaughter Syndicate: Murder by Appointment!!; Madelon: The Grotto of The Green Stone Man; Crooked as a Corkscrew; Double-Crossed: The Finger of Death. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
