About the series
From 1952 to 1953, Fawcett Publications gave readers Down with Crime, a seven-issue series that delivered hard-boiled tales of law and order. Featuring art by Bernard Baily, Charlie Tomsey, and George Appel, this short-lived comic stood as a gritty, post-war morality play in the waning days of Fawcett's crime line. It remains a brisk, period snapshot of the genre's pulpier, pre-Code era.
