ANOTHER MONSTER CRIME


A while back I posted a few covers of crime comics masquerading as horror titles by way of their misleading covers. The most notorious of these was MONSTER CRIME, published by Hillman in 1952 that was known for years as rare, demanding high market prices.

By chance I came across yet another, very similar horror "come-on" by Hillman: CRIME MUST STOP! #1 (October 1952). While not as blatant (they still used a crime title), it's definitely an MC redux with monsters on the cover and straight crime stories inside.

Are there others out there? Maybe so, but I haven't come across any more . . . yet!

Cover artist unknown.
