War Against Crime #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Fatal Turn," newly recovered from the hospital, Scott delivers a tense report to the Chief of the U.S. Treasury narcotics division about the suspicious death of Dora Mayfield and his dangerous encounter with a hidden narcotics ring. Written, drawn, and inked by Johnny Craig—whose sharp, noir-tinged style defines the era—this 1949 EC Comics standout blends suspense and moral urgency in a story that feels both timeless and rooted in its moment. The cover, also by Craig, captures the mood with a stark, shadowed intensity.
Scott Edwards, the special investigator, returns to duty after his hospital recovery to brief Chief George Garland on the suspicious death of Dora Mayfield and his dangerous encounter with a narcotics ring. With the help of a San Francisco Globe reporter and an unnamed secretary, Scott digs into the case, uncovering a web of deceit tied to a hotel doctor and his criminal associates.
