Gwandanaland Comics #267

Gwandanaland Comics #267 collects material from Crime Detector, spotlighting the wild world of mid-century crime comics at their most delightfully over-the-top. The reproduced cover art — credited to DeMono — features a wide-eyed, panic-stricken crook recoiling from a hulking machine called "Predicto," apparently compelled to confess crimes he hasn't even committed yet, while cover copy teases the mystery of "Professor Clever" and his uncanny invention. It's a vivid snapshot of the pre-Comics Code era's love of lurid science and criminal melodrama, packaged here by Gwandanaland Comics in 2019 for readers eager to revisit these hard-to-find gems.
