Well, this is a bit of a weird one. Crime Smasher was formerly known as Spy Smasher (real name Alan Armstong), but has given up wearing a costume since the war ended. Yet it is undoubtedly Alan Armstrong, because here he is with his secretary Eve Corby, who was also the main supporting character in SPY SMASHER's comic. And it is more than a little strange that here is Alan Armstrong, walking around wearing normal everyday clothes, yet nobody ever refers to him as anything other than Crime Smasher (okay... sometimes "MR. Crime Smasher"). Even Eve Corby, who has been around long enough to know him back when people actually called him by his real name of Alan Armstrong. Apart from that oddity, this is pretty much your standard, straightforward Private Detective comic book.
