Crime Does Not Pay #115

From the front seat of a car, two menacing figures close in on a terrified man in a purple suit who screams "I'm Trapped! Aieeee!!" — a tense, street-level moment of dread that perfectly captures what Crime Does Not Pay did better than almost anyone in 1952. Published by Lev Gleason with Charles Biro and Bob Wood at the editorial helm, this issue promises "All True Crime Illustories" and teases the story "Terror on Loon Street" alongside Robert Bernstein's tale "Trapped by the Dead!" If hard-boiled crime drama with genuine atmosphere is your thing, issue #115 delivers the goods.
