Dead End Crime Stories #1

This anthology contains two crime stories. "Crime Is the Game of Fools; Death Is the Scorekeeper!" follows Joey, an ambitious young criminal who rises to become an undisputed gangland boss by eliminating his rivals, only to be killed by members of the organization he once ruled. A second story, told by a prison electrician, recounts his experience as a witness to executions, focusing on a condemned murderer nicknamed Red Dog who faces the electric chair after his crimes catch up with him. The issue also includes a third narrative depicting a gang's botched attempt at robbery and dynamite theft that results in their arrest and downfall.
