In "Juanita Perez The Gypsy Killer!", a chilling tale from 1952, the ruthless Marie Swain—her youthful face belied by a hardened criminal streak—leads a violent crime spree with deadly precision. Penciled by John Rosenberger and inked by Vince Alascia, the story unfolds with stark intensity, while the cover by Perlowen captures the menace of a woman whose innocence is a mask for something far more dangerous.
