[Jeff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great collection of hard-boiled crime stories from the pages of the short-lived Justice magazine. That magazine, though it only lasted a year (1955-56), was every bit the equal of Black Mask or Manhunt.

This is a great companion to The Best from Manhunt (1958), which has been reprinted in its entirety in The Best of Manhunt (2019).
