Wanted Comics #21 (July 1949) This issue contains two stories. "The Would-Be Dillinger" features a man named Benjamin Rayburn, a post-World War II criminal ruthlessly schooled in killing during the war, who attempts to become a notorious gangster and commits violent crimes, but his plans ultimately unravel. "Roger Benson's Lifeless Body" follows a stock broker who is shot by police bullets; a visitor to his office becomes involved in a numbers racket scheme, and authorities work to dismantle the criminal organization before it becomes too entrenched.
