CRIME DOES NOT PAY showed us that in the end criminals will suffer - - but also that is can be pretty exciting to watch along the way! This volume includes the work of Charles Biro, George Tuska, Bob Fujitani and other favorties! This is one of the most important crime comics in the heyday of sequential art – it's law versus disorder as only the Golden Age can bring! As we build the complete CRIME DOES NOT PAY collection, there are issues we still need for scanning – #23, 24, 33, 36, 40, 46 & #54.* If you have any of these, please contact us! This first volume contains issues #22, 25 & #26. Once we secure #23-24 and update this book, you will be eligible for a free replacement upgrade. *These issues are available as modern reprints, but since they are digitally remastered and recolored, not only are they not free to use, they are not up to the standards we require. THE PUBLICATION OF THIS BOOK (AND MANY MORE) IS ONLY DUE TO THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF WILLIAM COOPER
