his favorite crime comic-book covers from the 1940s and ’50s at a site called Crime Boss. Especially plentiful are his scans of Crime Does Not Pay, Murder Incorporated, and Crimes by Women. Also included, though, are the fronts from issues of Crime Reporter, Famous Crimes, and Prison Break!Word had it that Wolfe was trying to unload his comics stock. But when contacted yesterday by e-mail, he explained that “while I did sell some of my collection, I still have the bulk of it. I’m no longer actively collecting, nor have I been for many years.
