About the series

Wanted Comics ran for 45 issues from 1947 to 1953 under the Orbit-Wanted banner, offering a gritty mix of crime, horror, and suspense stories typical of the pre-Code era. The series is most closely associated with writers Bill and William Woolfolk, alongside artists Mort Leav, Syd Shores, and a young John Buscema, whose early work here helped define the raw, energetic style of the period. It stands as a solid example of the hardboiled, often brutal storytelling that flourished before the Comics Code reshaped the industry.
