Cover by Joe Shuster and Ray Osrin. Stories and art by Joe Shuster, Bill Molno (also credited as Joe Shuster), Dick Giordano, Vince Alascia, Carl Memling, Ray Osrin, John Belfi and Chic Stone. Pre-Code crime comics from Charlton, focusing on swindlers and con games. Smooth customer Stockton Parkes runs a phony modeling agency, in a story with plentiful good-girl art. This is one of several stories this issue with art most likely by Bill Molno, ghosting for an ailing Joe Shuster (although other stories do appear to be Shuster's work). In another story, with grisly art by Superman co-creator Shuster, a strong-arm man threatens to pour acid on models' faces, but it's all an act using elaborate make-up. Business investors are conned by a fraudulent claim on uranium-rich land. Plus advice to the reader on avoiding con artists. Malignant Model Agency; Your Money or Your Face; Hot Ice; Tickets to Tragedy; The Case of the Crummy Corporation; A Case for the Police; The Basketball Scandals; Free Pick-Up. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.

Condition is overall fair: Some spine damage/chipping to cover, and corner bumps on pages throughout, inside cover aging, otherwise little damage, with pages complete - see pics for details on condition - I am not a comics grader, so this is just a guess at condition, but still seems a pretty great reading copy! - especially for the age of this classic Golden Age rare comic!
