Robert Bernstein Continues on Crime Does Not Pay

Here's Robert Bernstein's next couple of years writing for Crime Does Not Pay for Lev Gleason. I hadn't convinced myself of his writing the Who Dunnit? story in #70 when I did the first list.

CDNP closes out 1950 with #94, but I don't see Bernstein work in those last issues of the year.

As I was looking for Bernstein stories I found a couple by Carl Wessler that didn't get to the CGD from his records. In this tier from "Jack Rosca," note the exclamation that I haven't seen Robert Bernstein ever use.

'Aghhrr!'

  1. Have you gotten further than this in CDNP?

  2. I've flipped through all the issues to the end--I see Bernstein writing up to the second-to-last issue, #142 in 1955--but it's going through each issue again at greater length to confirm the earlier guesses that takes the time in assembling a post.
