Gwandanaland Comics #143

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Crime Does Not Pay issues #62–66, showcasing the series that proudly boasted more than 6,000,000 readers monthly and billed itself as "The Original and Best" in all-true crime stories. Charles Biro's cover art for issue #63 captures a tense bank-robbery scene, with a desperate getaway driver behind the wheel of an orange truck, a fleeing crook bolting from the Inter-American Savings building amid a blaring alarm, and speech balloons brimming with double-crossing dialogue. It's a vivid snapshot of the hard-boiled pulp energy that made Crime Does Not Pay one of the most talked-about comics of its era.
