Boom Town
8 pp · crime; detective-mystery · pencils Cal Massey (signed) · inks Cal Massey (signed)

Steve Duncan, a licensed investigator, arrives at his old war buddy Artie Sotos' saloon in a booming Pennsylvania town only to find it under siege—hoodlums keep staging violent brawls inside, threatening to get Artie's liquor license revoked by the state board. As Duncan digs into the pattern of attacks and the mysterious man offering to buy out the struggling tavern owners, he uncovers a scheme far more calculated than random roughhousing, one that hinges on desperation and a newcomer's inside knowledge of how to break a man's will to resist.

The Man They Could Not Kill
6 pp · crime

A man called Lucky Tracy survives ten assassination attempts by what he claims is a criminal organization—each brush with death making headlines and embarrassing the mob. When Tracy finally breaks under the pressure and seeks police protection, the organization decides to finish the job once and for all, launching a final, overwhelming assault. But the truth hidden in Tracy's diary reveals a far darker scheme than anyone suspected.

Marked For Murder
5 pp · crime

Slim Tyson, a small-town bookie who testified against his former partners, serves his prison sentence believing the walls will protect him from the underworld's revenge—until a new inmate arrives with murder on his mind. When Slim realizes the danger is closer than he thought, he orchestrates a daring prison break with his cellmate Eddie, only to discover that survival on the outside proves just as deadly as the threat he fled. A hard-boiled tale of betrayal and the inescapable consequences of a life in crime, "Marked for Murder" reminds us why they say there's no such thing as a perfect getaway.

Wilson Farley, a struggling businessman stuck with a warehouse full of unsellable goods, makes a dangerous bargain with Gino Vinel, a professional arsonist, offering him and his partner five grand each to burn down the building for insurance money. When a detective arrives at the warehouse during the scheme, Gino and his partner Ox open fire—but in the chaos and flames that follow, their greed and ruthlessness lead them down a path where loyalty becomes a liability. Floyd Torbert brings this hard-boiled insurance fraud scheme to life with pencils and inks, proving that in the criminal underworld, there's no honor among thieves.
