"Deadly" Matt Cornish the Scourge of the Fishing Fleets!
12 pp · crime
Mr. Crime

A ruthless criminal tries to shake down the fishing fleets of a small coastal town, but he hasn't reckoned with Patrolman Al Drews—a young cop with an uncanny knack for seeing through the obvious. When a plane crashes offshore and fishermen start turning up dead under suspicious circumstances, Drews begins connecting dots that his skeptical captain would rather ignore, setting him on a collision course with a mob that believes violence and intimidation can buy their way to fortune. George Tuska's artwork drives this true-crime tale of one honest lawman against the odds.
