Crime and Punishment #66

Lev Gleason's long-running true-crime anthology reaches issue #66 with a cover by Alex Toth that pulls no punches — a grimacing man in a hat raises a club while a chaotic street brawl erupts around him, rendered in Toth's sharp, kinetic linework. The teaser at the bottom — "How Swindlers Can Make a Sucker Out of You" — hints at the mix of street-level violence and cautionary con-man tales waiting inside. A solid 1954 entry in one of the era's most straightforward crime titles, dressed up in full four-color drama and Comics Code approval.
