Murder Tales
A bit of an oddity, where no artist info was available, and, even stranger, the run seems to start with 10 and 11, but here are Murder Tales #10 and #11 (November, 1970 and January, 1971) from World Famous Periodicals.

Happy Mother's Day To Scarlet Witch
A throwback to a happier time in comics, when Vision and Scarlet Witch took a (12 issue mini-series) break from being Avengers and concentrated on their family....here, covers to Vision And Scarlet Witch #4 and #12 (January and September, 1986) with art by Richard Howell...
...all to wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
Oh, and Wanda had twins here (but later, things got SO much more complicated...)

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!).
