alicemacherThe Silver Age title Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen was full of cracktastic scenarios, but perhaps none as bizarre as this, from #79 (Sept 1964; writer Leo Dorfman, artist George Papp):

You Can't Beat the Law!
Apr. 5th, 2012 10:52 amskjamWhile the advent of the Comics Code neutered the crime comics sub-genre, it didn't completely kill it. Here's a bit from Gang Busters #60, published in 1957.
In contrast to "Crime Does Not Pay" (see my post a couple of months ago), the stories are entirely fictional, concentrate on crimes other than murder, and focus on the law enforcement officers outwitting clever criminals, rather than on successful criminals who make a fatal mistake.
Two pages of a six-page story, plus a public service announcement.
( The Prison Safe-Cracker! )
Happy Easter to those that celebrate, and a pleasant weekend to everyone else!
