Lawbreakers Always Lose #7

Lawbreakers Always Lose was a short-lived educational comic book series published by Marvel Comics during the mid-1970s. Produced in collaboration with the United States Department of Justice, the series was designed to serve as a public service initiative aimed at younger readers. The narrative goal was to discourage criminal activity by depicting the inevitable capture and legal consequences faced by perpetrators, grounding its stories in a moralistic framework intended to foster civic responsibility.

The creative direction for these issues utilized the established visual language of Bronze Age Marvel comics to make the educational content more palatable to a youth audience. While the writers and artists often remained uncredited in the same capacity as mainstream superhero titles, the production team maintained the classic Marvel house style to ensure consistency with the brand. Despite its well-intentioned nature, the series is largely remembered today as a curiosity of the era, reflecting a specific period when major publishers frequently partnered with government agencies for social outreach.
