Racket Squad in Action #9

A lively carnival midway sets the scene for this 1953 Charlton crime title, as protagonist O'Malley confronts a crowd of swindlers around a rigged street game — a sharply dressed con man at the center reacting to the shout "Hold it!!! This is a swindle!" The left-side panels tease four distinct rackets — Sweepstake Swindle, Badger Racket, Cheating Gamblers, and Diamond Switch — promising an anthology packed with grift and street-level tension. Frank Frollo and Vince Alascia bring it all to vivid life with confident linework that captures both the colorful chaos of the fairground and the hard-edged menace lurking beneath it.
