Crime Does Not Pay #43
This anthology issue features two crime stories. "Ghouls' Gold," drawn by Jack Alderman with story by Robert Bernstein, recounts the 1829 murders of Burke and Hare in Sheffield, England, two criminals whose business partnership in robbery and murder was driven by greed for corpses to sell. A second story, "Who Dunnit Mystery?" also drawn by Jack Alderman, presents a murder mystery aboard a ship where readers are challenged to identify the killer among five suspects—Captain Singleton, Arthur King, Tom Currans, Gerald Steele, and Ethel Speers—as a storm approaches and one of the passengers is revealed to be a murderer.
