For Hire....Guns for Killers
10 pp · crime

When a failing sporting goods store owner accepts an offer to supply unregistered guns to criminals, he tells himself it's just business—until the weapons he rents end up in the hands of killers during an armored truck robbery. Now Tony Barrow must reckon with his complicity in the bloodshed, even as police close in on the source of the guns used in the crime. This true crime tale from Wanted Comics explores how one man's desperate gamble for profit makes him an accomplice to murder.

Murderous Cargo
7 pp · crime

When exiled mobster Louie Lusto gets word he can book passage back to America aboard a smuggler's speedboat, he's willing to pay handsomely—but the price of his desperate return quickly spirals into violence and double-crosses in Havana's underworld. As Lusto closes in on his goal of reclaiming his criminal empire, Nick Volgar's crew finds itself caught between a ruthless man with everything to gain and the Cuban authorities closing in fast. "Murderous Cargo" traces a criminal's obsession with homecoming and the deadly consequences that follow.

Murder of a Miser
2 pp · crime

A wealthy miser named Simon Flint meets a sudden and violent end in his boarding-house room, leaving behind a mystery: which of the people who knew him—Mrs. Lavel, Thelma Malone, James Shotter, or the newcomer Harry Sharpe—had the motive and opportunity to strike him down? This is your chance to solve the crime in Wanted Comics' ongoing contest, where sharp-eyed readers can pit their detective skills against the clues hidden in the pages.

Raymond Wilt
1 pp · non-fiction

In 1953, Raymond Wilt, a dangerous escaped murderer, poses as a kitchen wares salesman to gain entry to homes in Waynesburgh, Ohio—a calculated deception that puts unsuspecting families directly in harm's way. This true-crime account documents the threat posed by a desperate fugitive at large and details the warning issued to the public.

The Too Smart Killer!
7 pp · crime

Steve Buller thinks his criminal mind is sharper than any cop on the force, using clever schemes to pull off robberies across state lines—but his need to eliminate witnesses and cover his tracks sets him on a dark path of escalating violence. When he frames an innocent man for one of his murders, Buller believes he's finally pulled off the perfect crime, only to watch his carefully laid plans unravel in ways he never anticipated. Based on actual police files, this is the story of how a criminal's own brilliance becomes his greatest trap.
