Crimes Incorporated #12 — F+ 6.5
June 1950 • Fox Feature Syndicate • Crime anthology
One of Fox’s raw, late-Golden Age crime books — stripped down, violent, and totally unpolished in the best way. Torch covers, crooked cops, alley murders, and cheap-suit killers fill these pages. This is the kind of title that feels closer to a pulp paperback than a comic — blunt, lurid, and dressed in ink and newsprint.
Stories include Pete Morisi art and multiple hard-boiled crime shorts with foggy morals, desperate characters, and alley-corner justice. Exactly the kind of pre-Code energy Fox was known for right before the floor fell out from under the genre.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes (F+, 6.5)
Moderate spine wear with light roll. Corners show soft rounding. Light edge wear along the right and bottom edges. Cover colors remain strong with minimal rubbing. Back cover shows light toning and faint handling soiling. Interior pages are cream to light tan, complete and firmly attached. Solid mid-grade copy with strong eye appeal for a Fox crime book.
