"Crime Kings" delivers a chilling early 20th-century murder mystery from the Crime Does Not Pay Archives, spotlighting a meticulously crafted case where a fish knife with initials and a single burned match point to a killer beyond the obvious suspect. Drawn with stark, expressive detail by Dick Briefer, the story unfolds with the cold precision of a true crime classic, while Charles Biro’s cover captures the grim tension of the era’s most notorious crimes.
