The resonating phrase CRIME DOES NOT PAY echoed through the late 1940s – the bad guy never won, and his ending was usually violent, certainly unhappy! GANGSTERS CAN'T WIN offered the crime cases – true, they claimed – that not only taught a lesson, but thrilled and chilled a little bit, too. These stories were not sparse on gunfire! The crooks were bad, the women were often equally bad but looked really, really good, and with the fine work of artists such as Ingles, McWilliams and Reinman, this 9-issue series is a forgotten classic that is forgotten no more!
