Just discovered this thread... some truly fabulous stuff so far, fellas.

 

The pre-Bat Detectives have some remarkably evocative crime covers IMHO.

Wow, this cover is awesome! I've never seen it posted here before - thanks!

[sacentaur]

Glad you enjoyed the Tec 12, B25 - the book is raw with nice off-white to white interiors. One of my favorites.

 

 

That's a super nice CDNP 33 you posted earlier. Here's my raw copy:

 

 

Not my specialty per se, but one of the best covers of the genre IMHO (this copy also has o/w to white pages).

Steve, what other pre-hero Detectives do you have?

Okay, this isn't exactly thought of as a "crime" title, but it's certainly in the "spirit" of them (besides, it lets me post one of my best Spirit covers). If anyone feels it doesn't belong,I'll remove it.

Just these two - both raw, with a lilttle splitting unfortunately, but both are off-white to white inside.

 

The first appearance of the Crimson Avenger:

That's a superb Flessel cover, dripping with atmosphere. I don't think this issue is too early at all to be a "crime" comic, even though it precedes Crime Does Not Pay. I do think CDNP was an influential title, just not the first of its genre.

 

While perusing possible video purchases I ran across this image that might have been used by Flessel as partial inspiration for this cover.
