The Least Hardboiled P.I. Ever!!

Hey, kids, it's time for another adventure with...

See, when WWII ended, Alan Armstrong, the Spy Smasher, was without a job...because obviously, there was no need to smash spies during the cold war!

So Fawcett simply changed him to Crime Smasher, and made him a private detective, to leap aboard the growing crime comic craze.

But Alan was not your typical Sam Spade type...




Awww...

Well, Armstrong gets sidetracked into investigating Killer King, and manages to make an escape. But not in a particularly hard-nosed way...



WHEEEEE!!!!

Anyway, he eventually catches King, and collects the reward. But he still has a case to solve...

Awww....

From Crime Smasher #1 (1948), as reprinted in Badge Of Justice #22 (1955)
