Gwandanaland Comics #1808

This 2018 Gwandanaland Comics collection brings together seven one-shot crime comics under the banner of Avon Comics' World of Crime, spotlighting the gritty drama of syndicate-era storytelling. The cover features a tense scene straight from The Underworld Story — a woman in red defiantly crying "You're not going to frame me!" as a police officer and shadowy suited figures close in around her. It's a vivid snapshot of the hard-boiled crime comics that made Avon a standout publisher, and this anthology is a compelling way to experience several of those stories in one volume.
