Crime Can't Win #5

A ten-cent thrill from 1951, this issue of Crime Can't Win promises "America's Most Dangerous Criminals… Trapped!" — and the cover by Sol Brodsky and Christopher Rule delivers on that tension immediately. A red getaway car barrels through a police barricade near a cemetery, officers scrambling at the roadblock while squad cars converge and radio chatter crackles across speech balloons, all centered on the headline story "The Last Ride of George Kroll." Inside, Marion Sitton brings additional tales including "The Big Caper," "Phil Emery's Greed," and "Meet the Octopus," making this a packed anthology of hard-boiled crime drama straight from the golden age of the genre.
