Crime Suspenstories #5
In "This'll Kill You!", two crooks in disguise storm the office of President Simon Goober, only to be outsmarted at every turn—starting with a safe full of stage money and escalating to a check made out to cash, written in invisible ink, and a set of five cigars that double as explosives. Written by Al Feldstein and illustrated with sharp precision by Marie Severin, this classic Crime Suspenstories tale delivers a perfectly timed twist in a story that’s as clever as it is darkly funny. The cover, by George Evans, captures the tension with a tense, stylized showdown.
