Police Comics #104

Ken Shannon, a wisecracking private detective, finds himself caught between a muscle-bound wrestler named Luscious Louie and a ruthless crime boss named Dutch Hanscon—who's muscling in on the wrestling game and won't take kindly to anyone who refuses to play along. When Luscious Louie hires Ken to keep him alive through a match against Sammy Geiss, the detective walks straight into Dutch's territory, ready for trouble and armed with his trademark smart mouth. It's a case where brains and guts will have to outmatch pure muscle and mob connections.

When T-Man Trask delivers counterfeiter Sam Spring to Honolulu for trial, a mysterious accomplice slips his prisoner a gun aboard the plane—and things quickly spiral into murder and mayhem. With the help of stewardess Marge Daily and field agent Charlie Luani, Trask must track down who's behind the killing and locate the counterfeit plates hidden somewhere on Kalakaua Avenue before the criminals strike again. "Honolulu Homicide" is a tense island caper where a T-Man's vacation becomes anything but relaxing.

In "The Hottest Corpse in Town," a body turns up in the river, and Denver, the sharp-eyed investigator, knows the dead man holds the key to a murder case—but he’s not saying. With the killer still out there, Denver plays a dangerous game of patience, using the corpse as bait to expose the truth.

Private eye Ken Shannon takes on a case that lands him squarely in Dutch Hanscon's crosshairs when he agrees to protect wrestler Luscious Louie during a televised match—the only performer in town refusing to pay off the local mobster. With danger lurking both inside and outside the ring, Shannon must navigate a web of muscle-bound fighters, trigger-happy hoods, and Hanscon's iron grip on the wrestling racket to keep his client breathing. It's a pulpy collision of detective work and the grunt-and-groan game, 1951-style.

State Trooper Dan Leary grows suspicious when criminal Happy Morton opens a roadhouse in his patrol area, and when a visit to the establishment doesn't deter Morton's criminal ambitions, the wily trooper discovers that Morton's real scheme involves using the property as a hideout for organized crime. After Morton attempts to frame Leary for a serious crime, the clever trooper turns the tables with a hidden recording that captures a full confession.
