“Death House Blues”

Two prisoners gripping adjacent cell bars have clearly fumbled a deadly contraband item — a set of poison-filled false teeth — while a sharp-eyed guard closes in from the right, demanding to know what they're up to. Charles Biro's cover art captures that split-second of panic perfectly, making this one of the more gripping entries in the long-running Crime Does Not Pay run. This February 1950 issue packs a full 52 pages of "All True Crime Illustories," including "Death House Blues," "Mad-Dog Roundup!," and the reader-challenge mystery "Who Dunnit? — Can You Solve the Murder of Mrs. Brewster?
