☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue is an anthology featuring two police crime stories. "Prison Break" tells of Danny Morgan, a famous escape artist imprisoned in Iowa's most modern, best-guarded prison, who has escaped three times before and makes a strange promise to the warden in return for sparing six lives. "Mike Bayner...The Scorpion" follows FBI agents as they pursue Mike "The Scorpion" Bayner, a gangster from Chicago, using his criminal record and known associates to track him down and bring about one of the most sensational captures in Department of Justice history.
"Lugs Malone, the Escape King," a cunning inmate known for his jailbreaks, leads a tight-knit group of prisoners—including the elderly brains Doc, the mechanic Weasel, the brute Tiny, and a young recruit—through a meticulously planned escape from a high-security prison in 1948. With the help of forged weapons, hidden messages, and a ruse involving the prison’s supply train, they exploit a moment of chaos to slip past guards and vanish into the night. As the prison erupts in alarm, the group makes a daring move to hijack a ferry, but their final escape is far from guaranteed.
In "No Jail Could Hold Him," the notorious Danny Morgan, a killer known for his ruthless precision and uncanny ability to escape even the most secure prisons, makes his final, desperate bid for freedom. With a mind as sharp as his violence, he turns the system against itself—only to face a reckoning that may finally end his reign of terror.
In "Mike Bayner, the Scorpion," the ruthless and arrogant Mike Bayner earns his deadly nickname through a reign of violence and intimidation, leaving a trail of fear in his wake. His bold, merciless tactics make him a notorious figure in the criminal underworld—until the law closes in.
Jeff Hamilton and his red-headed accomplice, Red, flee after a bank heist, only to find their stolen money useless due to a police alert on its serial numbers. Desperate, Jeff devises a risky plan to pass the bills by posing as an investor, tricking a man named Jeremiah Blanchard into buying them—until Blanchard's sudden return threatens to unravel everything.
