Headline Comics #24

Headline Comics #24 (May-June 1949) This issue presents true crime detective stories under the anthology title "Crime Never Pays." The lead story, "You Can't Forget a Killer," follows a murder investigation where a repaired radio becomes key evidence—its fingerprints identify the killer as Joseph Reed, a man who spent six years in jail, leading to a statewide manhunt. A second story features two French detectives from the Paris Detective Bureau tasked with capturing a killer, during which they discover a one-legged man reading a book and ultimately identify him as Herman Gottler, a French criminal. The final visible story involves Inspector Cassidy tracking Mike Grillo, who is throwing an anniversary party at his farm, with Cassidy determined to apprehend him despite years of eluding capture.
