Crime Must Pay the Penalty #41
Crime Must Pay the Penalty #41 This issue contains at least two stories. "Double in Blood" follows Mike Loomis, a criminal convicted on thirteen counts who devises an elaborate scheme involving plastic surgery to conceal his identity completely, allowing him to evade a deportation order and continue his criminal activities until he grows careless and is ultimately caught. A second story depicts a sailor named John Masters who deserts the U.S. Navy and attempts to hide in Mexico, where he encounters various dangers and faces consequences for his desertion. Both stories illustrate the inevitable capture and punishment of criminals fleeing justice.
