Crime Reporter

Crime Reporter, a three-issue series from Publications Services Limited launched in 1949, offered a gritty, post-war look at law enforcement through the lens of a newspaper crime beat. The series is most remembered for its striking artwork, primarily handled by the legendary Matt Baker and Bob Lubbers, whose dynamic, noir-infused visuals elevated the straightforward premise. Though short-lived, it stands as a notable example of early crime comics, showcasing the talent of two of the era’s most celebrated illustrators.
