Series continues in International Crime Patrol #6

Gardner Fox wrote the stories for this E.C. title which began a morphing sequence which ended as The Crypt of Terror. The Pre-Trend title began as a crime comic book and it had adventures of continuing characters Van Manhattan and Madelon. The first morphing occurred with #6, which was retitled International Crime Patrol, introduced in #5 with the cover copy “Introducing the INTERNATIONAL CRIME-BUSTING PATROL…featuring Van Manhattan, Igor, Madelon and the Chessmen…in a thrilling book-length story!”
