“Killing Was His Business!”

In "Killing Was His Business!", Wilbur’s obsession with his trusted revolver, 'Sweetheart,' sets him apart from other criminals—his ruthless efficiency earns him a reputation, but also enemies. After being betrayed by Roy, Wilbur escapes prison and hunts him down, reigniting a deadly rampage that draws the FBI into a final, brutal confrontation. The story unfolds with stark, noir-inspired tension, illustrated by Mike Becker and lettered by Artie Simek, while Syd Shores and Vince Alascia deliver a striking cover that captures the grim intensity of Wilbur’s downfall.
