My first glance at the boards in ages.
When does summer vacation start?
Is the 16-page surprise that the first four wraps are text stories and ads printed on glossy paper with sepia ink?
I just got a Crime Does Not Pay 45 (sorry, no scan, no working scanner,
and at the moment no office to put a scanner in) and was surprised myself.

This scan was the first interior page of issue 49 which had 12 pages of ads, 1 letter page and 2 pages of text.
Art by Tuska and additional features by Palais and Alderman filled out the issue. Pretty good stuff but a little bloody and gruesome.
I imagine the content was similar in issue 44.
Welcome back Jack, I spent my summer on the golf course cause I had no classes to teach. You must have been stuck doing research and writing grants.
