About the series
Jack Kirby turned his hand to crime comics with this short-lived Mainline series, running just four issues from 1954 to 1955. Featuring art by Jo Albistur, John Prentice, and Mort Meskin, the title offered taut, hard-boiled tales of law enforcement and criminal pursuit. It stands as a gritty, unglamorous snapshot of the pre-Code era's crime genre, before the Comics Code Authority reshaped the industry.
