It is possible that, since in the real world crime comics based on true crimes were popular in the 1950's, that on Earth-Prime Doctor Thirteen's adventures were retold in crime comics and true crime magazines, as Doctor Thirteen's early stories were not technically fantasy, but rather detective stories.
