About this Collection

This volume from the Treasury of XXth Century Murder series examines the infamous 1922 Hall-Mills double murder case, in which a married man and a choir singer were found dead in a New Jersey lovers' lane. Rick Geary's detailed black-and-white comics style reconstructs the sensational investigation, trial, and lingering mysteries surrounding one of America's most notorious unsolved crimes.

"Part I: Under the Crabapple Tree" from Lovers' Lane: The Hall-Mills Mystery (A Treasury of XXth Century Murder) is a gripping true-crime graphic narrative by Rick Geary, whose meticulous art and storytelling bring the chaotic early days of a high-profile murder investigation to life. As the case spirals into a media frenzy, with rumors spreading and evidence traded for headlines, the police struggle to piece together a coherent picture—leaving the truth buried beneath spectacle.
