April 10.
Uncut and uncensored, the infamous pre-code Crime Does Not Pay comics
are finally collected into a series of archival hardcovers! With brutal,
realistic tales focusing on vile criminals, Crime Does Not Pay was one
of the most popular comics of the 1940s. The series was a favorite
target of Dr. Frederic Wertham and other censors and is partially
responsible for the creation of the stifling Comics Code Authority. Now
revered and mythic, this collection of the first four hard-to-find Crime
Does Not Pay comics features a fine roster of golden-age creators and a
new introduction by Matt Fraction (Iron Man, Casanova)!
