Owner's Description
Down with Crime #16 is referenced in Geoffrey Wagner’s “Parade of Pleasure” (POP) in the text on page 80.
Wagner describes a story from Down With Crime #6 as follows “The central story in Down With Crime no 6 concerns a double-crossing crook called Johnny (‘Elbows’) Scarlet, another portrayal from real life, it seems, who treats the men he murders ‘like a butcher handles meat’, as a pal puts it to him. There are seven killings in this story and twenty-one explosions recorded by diligent comment in the copy.
The story Wager references is “The Puncture-Proof Assassin” with the subtitle “The Amazing Story of Johnny (Elbows) Scarlet, the Gangster Who Couldn’t be Killed!”.
