Gwandanaland Comics #148

This 2017 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints issues #87–91 of the golden age crime anthology Crime Does Not Pay, promising "52 thrill-packed pages" of hard-boiled stories. Bob Fujitani's cover art — showing a tense, dark-suited man reaching across a desk toward scattered papers while a disembodied hand intrudes from the shadows, a telephone and clock nearby — perfectly captures the menacing mood that made this series a standout of its era. With the tagline "Death Watches the Clock," this volume is a compelling entry point into one of crime comics' most atmospheric titles.
