Art by Everett Raymond Kinstler, Mo Marcus, Rocco Mastroserio, Warren Kremer, and Bill Molno. Lurid pre-Code tales about mobsters, bank robbers and other bad guys and gals from the golden age of crime. Wilbur Underhill and his gang roam the back roads of Oklahoma during the 1920s and 1930s; The strange case of Corpse for Hire John Rance; Willie Bioff abuses labor unions to extort millions of dollars from movie studios in the 1920s-40s.
