Finishing up Robert Bernstein’s scripts for Crime Does Not Pay;
the title ended with #147. (It went under the Comics Code with #143.)
But first: while going over the last issues I made a few artist IDs.
When I saw Dick Giordano’s earliest stuff at Charlton it seemed to me
there was a George Evans influence. Sure enough, a Giordano/Vince
Alascia job at Lev Gleason has been miscredited in the Grand
Comics Database to Evans–“The Fall of the Saturday Night Gang,” shown above. Giordano/Alascia have “Unheeded Warning” in the
next issue, CDNP 145, correctly attributed to them, and their story in 146, “The
Big Mop-Up,” is
signed.
