Owner's Description

Gangsters and Gun Molls #3 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) on pages 84-85.

On pages 84-85, Wagner describes two stories from “Crime Never Wins no 3”. He mistitled this issue as “Crime Never Wins” is the top banner to “Gangsters and Gun Molls #3” and not the actual title of the book. He describes the first story as follows “the heroine of the first story, whose dress looks as if it has been put on her by a spray-gun, slaps two women, knocks out two men, one with a bottle, and kills one police officer in six pages”. He describes the second story “the heroine of the last, a laughing blonde, kills four men, knocks out a fifth, and brutally slaps a girl bank-clerk in as many snappy pages. As she robs one man she declares explicitly that she is not going to leave ‘till I show Mister Tough Guy what it means to be tough’.

The first story Wagner describes is titled “Juanita Perez the Gypsy Killer!” and the second story is “Marie Swain, Rod-Baby!” I have included a scan from the Marie Swain story where she “brutally slaps a girl bank-clerk” as described by Wagner.
