In "The Last Round," EC's War Against Crime #8 (1949) delivers a tense, character-driven tale of ambition and downfall, spotlighting Archer—a cunning, well-mannered criminal whose sharp mind led him from small-time theft to organized crime. With stark, expressive art by Graham Ingels and a striking cover by Johnny Craig, the story unfolds as a meticulously laid trap closes in on a man whose greatest flaw may be his own confidence.
