Guns Against Gangsters

A gritty, seven-issue crime comic from the late 1940s, Guns Against Gangsters was published by Novelty / Premium / Curtis and delivered hard-boiled tales of lawmen versus organized crime. The series was most consistently crafted by writer-artists Milt Hammer and Art Helfant, alongside artist Pete Riss and writer Harry Lazarus, offering a raw, post-war take on the battle between cops and mobsters. It stands as a compact, period-specific artifact of the crime comic boom, capturing the era's fascination with underworld violence and justice.
