June 1956

This was the last issue of Crime Scene. Because of Dean's schedule in helping Kevin Greenfield on the first issue of the upcoming men’s magazine Girlie-Q, he couldn’t solo a whole issue of Crime Scene again. He did supply an explosive Night and Day episode. Otto pulled out some unpublished stories that he had previously bought from other writers and ran those. The inside front cover featured a letter to the readers by Otto Greenfield telling them of Crime Scene’s demise. He closed out this piece by thanking the readers for their years of loyalty and invited them, if they were of age, to pick up the soon to be released first issue of Girlie-Q. Otto never really put one word  to paper. Dean ghosted it for him.

This was also the only issue of Crime Scene that featured a photo cover. The bondage girl was Mandy Blake and she was Otto’s secretary. The cover story she posed for was written by her future husband, Max Ellis. Max would end up staying under contract with Greenfield by writing a series of western paperbacks under the pseudonym, Tex Clark.

To show how desperate Otto was to find stories for this issue, the writer Joe Kline was really the janitor for the building that housed the Greenfield Publishing offices. This was the only thing he ever wrote professionally. If you read his story you’d understand why.
