Surprise Murder

Here's a few murders in progress, that seem to be a surprise to those involved, from Crime And Punishment #30 and #31 (September and October, 1950) both by Charles Biro, from publisher Lev Gleason.

Murder On An Elevator

Sometimes waiting for an elevator is murder...

...but not as bad as it is for these two covers to Crime Does Not Pay by Charles Biro (#34 and #35, from July and September, 1944) from Lev Gleason (such classic crime comics!).
