Prison Break! #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Lugs" Malone... the Escape King, a notorious criminal known as Danny Morgan—brutal, cunning, and feared for his uncanny ability to vanish from even the most secure prisons—makes his latest break, fueled by a chilling belief that no cell can hold him. With art by Carmine Infantino and inks by Vince Alascia, this 1952 Avon thriller captures the tension of a man racing against fate, while Everett Raymond Kinstler’s cover delivers a stark, intense portrait of the escape king himself.
"Lugs" Malone has earned his reputation as a cunning jail-breaker, and when a violent prison riot lands him and four hand-picked confederates in solitary, he seizes the perfect opportunity to execute an audacious escape plan involving the supply train. With the help of Doc's brains, Weasel's mechanical skills, and the kid's quick thinking, Malone orchestrates a breakout timed down to the minute—but prison guards and machine-gun fire stand between the five convicts and freedom.
Danny Morgan, a ruthless killer and master escape artist, breaks free from prison with brutal precision—but his victory is shadowed by a grim certainty: no matter how many cells he shatters, fate has a final lock waiting.
In "Mike Bayner... the Scorpion," the ruthless and boastful Mike Bayner rules through fear, his violent reign marked by intimidation and deadly precision. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1952 crime tale dives into the mind of a man who wears his arrogance like a weapon.
Jeff Hamilton thinks he's found the perfect score when he obtains fifty thousand dollars in hot money from a bank robbery, but the serial numbers are flagged by police—until he spots an ad from investor Jeremiah Blanchard and hatches a scheme to pass the bills as counterfeit currency. When Blanchard proves too nervous about the FBI to stay in the game, Jeff devises a cruel double-cross to take back both his money and Blanchard's investment, but his greed sets off a chain of consequences that brings the law closing in fast.
