Drug Propaganda Comic: True Crime! 

This Auction Includes:
LOT OF 1 VINTAGE COMIC BOOK: CRIME MUST PAY THE PENALTY #33 CGC 6.0 With Cream To Off-White Pages From 1953, By Ace Periodicals. This Landmark Drug Propaganda Key Issue Features The Epic "Dell Fabry - Junk King" Story Featuring Plenty Of Cocaine And Heroin And Junkies And Heavy Violence, Which Was Cited In The Book "Love And Death". It Is Laden With The Narcotics Jargon Of The Period, A Real Window Into The Early Fifties Culture, But It's Scarce, So Scarce That Only A Few Blue Label Copies Even Exist Besides THIS Beauty. So Don't Miss This Chance To Score A Sharp Well-Preserved Example Or You Could End Up Settling For A Humiliating Photocopy Replica Or Low-Grade Reader Copy. This Comic Is Essential For Any Drug-Comic Collector Or Fan Of Pre-Code Shock, Gore & Crime, Or Scarce Pre-Code In General, But It Has Always Been Tough To Obtain In Any Condition.  
 
THE GREAT PRE-CODE CRIME COMICS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED BY NOVICE COLLECTORS, BUT THEY ARE SEEING A SURGE IN INTEREST AND LIKELY WON'T REMAIN AFFORDABLE FOR MUCH LONGER, SO DON'T MISS THIS FLEETING OPPORTUNITY.
 
 The Suspense, Detective, Shock, True Crime, Mystery, And Drug Propaganda Themes Never Go Out Of Style!
 
This hails from a dark, dry, pet-free, non-smoking, climate-controlled environment.  Although it's over seventy years old the colors remain vibrant and the eye appeal is impressive for the assigned grade. Sorry about the glare and reflections, the photographs don't do this stellar comic justice.
  
MATERIAL LIKE THIS SPOTLIGHTING ICONIC THEMES OF CINEMA, TELEVISION, POP CULTURE AND LITERATURE NEVER LOSES APPEAL.
 
   This will be carefully packaged very thoroughly to ensure safe delivery.
