Wanted Comics #47

A hardened criminal named Dapper Morton faces execution for his crimes, but before the electric chair claims him, a reporter's reflection reveals the bitter truth of his rise: a callous, heartless kid who stole from his own mother and clawed his way into the underworld, orchestrating robberies and violence until the law finally caught up. This crime story traces how one man's cruelty and ambition led inexorably to "The Extreme Penalty."

A hotel dining room manager in 1950s California, Morley Vernon King, seems like the perfect employee—until his wife falls gravely ill, and a maid discovers a horrifying crime. This true-crime story documents the search for a dangerous fugitive wanted for murder, as law enforcement traces a man with multiple aliases across the country.

Carl Brady is a trigger-happy killer with one of gangland's bloodiest records—a man so unpredictably vicious that even his own criminal partners fear him. When he partners with mob boss Phil Masselli to muscle in on the small-loan racket, Brady's itchy trigger finger eliminates the competition with brutal efficiency, but his uncontrollable violence soon threatens to bring the law down on them both. As the heat closes in, Brady's ruthlessness turns inward, and the partnership begins to crack under the weight of his own savagery.
