Police Comics #108 (1951)

Inspector Marty Denver investigates the suspicious death of wealthy John Fairfield, whose car crashed after its brakes were sabotaged—leading him to suspect murder rather than accident. As he digs into the victim’s troubled marriage and shady connections, Denver grows convinced that Fairfield’s widow and her lover are behind the crime, though he lacks proof. With time running out and the killers growing bolder, Denver takes a dangerous gamble to force them into a trap.

In the fog-laden streets of London, a thief named Pete Trask is caught in a dangerous game after stealing a briefcase containing what he believes is a deadly secret. Pretending to be an American gangster on the run, he teams up with a reluctant accomplice named Wally while secretly working with Scotland Yard to expose a spy ring. As the net closes, Trask must stay one step ahead of both the enemy agents and his own growing suspicions—especially when a mysterious woman named Tanya shows up with a very personal agenda.

Detective Alan Sykes arrives at the scene of a man found dead in his kitchen with the gas turned on and his head in the oven, prompting the local officer to declare it a suicide. The wife claims she discovered him after smelling gas and being worried about his recent despair over business, even mentioning she hid his sleeping pills to prevent an overdose. Sykes, however, sees something the others missed and quietly concludes it was no suicide—but the real clue remains hidden, waiting to be uncovered.

Patrolman Larry Hogan, cursed with a face that earns him photo shoots and scorn from fellow officers, longs to prove himself in real police work. When a suspicious delivery leads him to a mansion under siege by thieves, he takes matters into his own hands—only to face the same old problem: his looks, not his bravery, are the story.
