This issue is an anthology featuring two police crime stories. "Prison Break" tells of Danny Morgan, a famous escape artist imprisoned in Iowa's most modern, best-guarded prison, who has escaped three times before and makes a strange promise to the warden in return for sparing six lives. "Mike Bayner...The Scorpion" follows FBI agents as they pursue Mike "The Scorpion" Bayner, a gangster from Chicago, using his criminal record and known associates to track him down and bring about one of the most sensational captures in Department of Justice history.

Contains 4 stories
Lugs Malone, the Escape King
7 pp · Crime

Lugs Malone, the brutal and cunning "Escape King," orchestrates an ingeniously planned breakout from one of the country's most secure prisons with his carefully chosen crew—exploiting a prison riot as cover and using an abandoned supply train as their path to freedom. With violence, crude firearms, and cold calculation, Malone and his gang navigate past guards and over the prison walls, but their perfect scheme faces its final test when the authorities move to stop them at the ferry.

No Jail Could Hold Him
6 pp · Crime

In "No Jail Could Hold Him," the notorious Danny Morgan, a killer known for his ruthless precision and uncanny ability to escape even the most secure prisons, makes his final, desperate bid for freedom. With a mind as sharp as his violence, he turns the system against itself—only to face a reckoning that may finally end his reign of terror.

Mike Bayner, the Scorpion
6 pp · Crime

In "Mike Bayner, the Scorpion," the ruthless and arrogant Mike Bayner earns his deadly nickname through a reign of violence and intimidation, leaving a trail of fear in his wake. His bold, merciless tactics make him a notorious figure in the criminal underworld—until the law closes in.

Easy Money
6 pp · Crime

Jeff Hamilton thinks he's found the perfect score—hot money from a bank heist that the police have marked with serial numbers—until he hatches a scheme to pass it through a greedy investor looking to make a fast buck. But when Hamilton decides to double-cross his mark to reclaim the full haul, he sets in motion a chain of events that brings the law closing in, proving that no amount of easy money is worth the price of his own ambition.
