Gwandanaland Comics #3347

This 2023 Gwandanaland Comics collection reprints Headline Comics No. 28, a pulse-pounding slice of golden-age crime comics operating under the bold banner "Crime Never Pays." The cover drops us into a tense card-game showdown, where a smooth-talking gangster declares he's taking over the rackets while a glamorous woman in red looks on, as a sharp-eyed opponent coolly warns he still has "an ace in the hole." If you're drawn to all-true-crime tales drenched in period atmosphere and snappy tough-guy dialogue, this volume delivers the goods.
