Finishing up Robert Bernstein’s scripts for Crime Does Not Pay<\/i>;
\nthe title ended with #147. (It went under the Comics Code with #143.)<\/p>\n

\"CDNP<\/a><\/div>\n

\nBut first: while going over the last issues I made a few artist IDs.
\nWhen I saw Dick Giordano’s earliest stuff at Charlton it seemed to me
\nthere was a George Evans influence. Sure enough, a Giordano\/Vince
\nAlascia job at Lev Gleason has been miscredited in the Grand
\nComics Database to Evans–“The Fall of the Saturday Night Gang,” shown above. Giordano\/Alascia have “Unheeded Warning” in the
\nnext issue, CDNP<\/i> 145, correctly attributed to them, and their story in 146, “The
\nBig Mop-Up,” is
\nsigned.<\/p>\n
