Eddie Bentz alias the Ghost
6 pp · crime

Eddie Bentz, a meticulous and gentlemanly bank robber known as "the Ghost," carefully orchestrates an ambitious million-dollar heist in 1930 Lincoln, Nebraska—only to have his perfect plans unravel when one of his gang members is captured and exposes him to the authorities. Now hunted across the country by police and the FBI, Bentz must navigate a tightening net with nothing but the stolen securities he cannot access and nowhere left to hide.

Basil Banghart
10 pp · crime · pencils George Gregg · inks George Gregg?

Basil "The Owl" Banghart—so nicknamed for his unblinking stare—starts smart in the bootlegging racket of 1925, even impressing mob boss Roger Touhy with his skill and nerve, but his cockiness and reckless climb through kidnapping and armed robbery eventually brings federal heat down on the entire operation. Cornered in Baltimore with nowhere left to run, Banghart learns the hard way that no clever scheme or quick trigger finger can outrun the law forever. A gritty cautionary tale of ambition, arrogance, and the price of the criminal life.

From the Farm to Alcatraz
7 pp · crime

Harry Brunette started as a farm boy but fell in with the wrong crowd in Milwaukee, eventually marrying a woman named Cheryl and killing a crime boss in what he claimed was self-defense. On the run ever since, Brunette has spiraled deeper into crime—robbing a post office, threatening his associates, and holing up in a New York penthouse—until his desperate situation finally catches up with him when police close in for the arrest.

Black Jack Rule
8 pp · crime

"Biff" Ellison runs his protection racket with a blackjack and an iron will, terrorizing shop owners across early 1900s Coney Island—until a rival collector named Red Harrington begins muscling in on his territory. When Biff lands in jail for assault, he emerges with revenge on his mind, but Red and his crew are waiting, and a final confrontation with Officer Edwards forces Biff to learn a hard lesson about life outside the law.

Murder Pay$ Off
6 pp · crime

Benny Rogers runs a ruthless crime-for-hire operation in 1914 New York, complete with a price list for everything from fatal shootings to horse poisoning—until Sergeant Ryan makes it personal by refusing to back down from the investigation. When Ryan's pursuit forces a desperate confrontation, Benny's empire of terror unravels, exposing a web of corruption that reaches into the city's most respectable corners. This is a story about how greed and violence, no matter how organized, ultimately fall to the law.

Oregon's Trigger-Happy Killer
8 pp · crime

Harry Tracy, a cold-blooded killer, escapes from Oregon State Penitentiary in 1902 alongside fellow convict Dave Merrill, leaving dead guards in their wake. As the desperate fugitives evade an ever-closing net of lawmen and pursue-rs across the Northwest, Tracy's ruthlessness and cunning keep him one step ahead—but the walls are closing in, and his reign of terror can't last forever.
