A poor shmuck gets (elevator) shafted on Biro's cover. Inside you'll find tales of desperate saps who learned the hard way that crime does not pay. "The genius of these stories lies not in the great dialogue or plot twists or incredible draftsmanship. They're not illustrated by Wally Wood or Johnny Craig. The genius is in the totality and earnestness of their subject. Crime Does Not Pay is a direct mainline into human failing." — David Lapham, Crime Does Not Pay Vol. 4. Dark Horse: 2013, p. 8.
A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake.
