I have a copy of Lots ‘O’ Fun Comics that grades around VG-. It features
“Crime Does Not Pay”. I have no idea how much it’s worth. It isn’t listed in
the Guide or on comicspriceguide.com Any help would be great. Thank you.
Well, when a comic’s not in Overstreet, one possibility is that it might be a foreign edition (like Canadian or British). Check the bottom of the inside front cover or first page for the indicia, which should have the “official” title of the book, the issue number, date, and information about the publisher. If the listed publisher’s address is somewhere in England or Canada, it’s probably a foreign reprint, which might account for its different title (the ads in the book are sometimes a clue to this, too). Foreign editions often go for about half of their American counterparts, although that can vary quite a bit.
While you’re looking at the title, also make sure it’s what you thought it was; if it just says “Crime Does Not Pay,” instead of “Lots ‘O Fun,” then there’s your problem, and you can solve it by looking up the actual listed title in Overstreet instead.
Other than that, The Professor doesn’t know, although looking at the actual comic (or a scan of the cover and the indicia) might suggest some other possibilities….
