    Cover by John Buscema. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Leav, Harry Anderson, Rafael Astarita, and Bill Woolfolk. Bloody pre-Code crime comics, in imitation of Crime Does Not Pay - including a top-hatted, otherworldly narrator. The twist is that the publisher offers wanted posters (and rewards) for real-life criminals. A temple cult has a strange connection to a band of masked killers, in a story with some atmospheric (and violent) art by Harry Anderson. Gangsters hijack trucks carrying valuable silk shipments. The Great Unsolved Mysteries contest invites readers to ponder an elderly woman poisoned before she could change her will, in an early story (and cover) by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. Payment In Blood; Cult of the Killers; Great Unsolved Mysteries: Murder for Aunt Martha; Wanted: Ralph Jackson; Hot Silk. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
