"Part 1: The Conqueror" in Amazing Mystery Funnies #7 (1939) kicks off a gritty crime saga with Bill Everett writing and drawing every panel—his sharp, dynamic style bringing to life a tense mystery at the Cicero Warehouse. When Bob and Micky uncover a dying drug dealer muttering "C-20," they follow the clue to a scow where Rita May, the sister of the deceased, has already taken violent justice into her own hands.
