American Update: The Atlas Explosion! Crime Exposed: More Lurid Gangland Shenanigans From the Fifties
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: One of Atlas’ first ventures into the crime field was Crime Exposed, which launched as a one-shot in 1948 before returning as an ongoing series in 1950. Although Crime Exposed’s run was comparatively short (a mere 14 issues in the second series), it did have several artists of distinction, including Maneely, Sale, Robinson and Krigstein, and not one, but two, of its issues (#10 and #13) were cited in the notorious pro-censorship book ‘Parade of Pleasure’, for excessive violence. Ten of the fourteen second-series issues are now in stock, from #2 to the final #14; issue #9 (FN+ £41) is depicted.
