Real Clue Crime Stories

    (Hillman, 1947-1952)
™ and ©1953 Hillman Periodicals, Inc.
Series continued from Clue Comics; Vol. 2 #3

The slogan of this crime and detective series was “Commit a crime and the world is made of glass.” Formerly known as “Clue Comics,” this series served up rather standard crime stories from 1947 up until the impending Comics Code in 1953. Like its sister title Crime Detective, Real Clue Crime stories featured assorted gangsters, robbers, and murderers who were inevitably brought down by the long arm of the law. For variety, it included a handful of period pieces set in exotic locations and times such as the old Spanish West.
