MURDEROUS GANGSTERS’s title aptly describes the theme and content of the series.
MURDEROUS GANGSTERS was a four issue series published by Avon Publishing between
1951 and 1952. The acrid smell of gun smoke seeps through nearly every page of this title.
Criminals of all stripes, from fictional to real-life thugs like Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face
Nelson can be found between these pages.
The artwork in MURDEROUS GANGSTERS is a murderer’s row of talent including: Wally
Wood, Rocco Mastroserio, Warren Kremer, Mike Becker, Mike Roy and Everett Raymond
Kinstler. If you are in the mood for blood drenched crime drama then MURDEROUS
GANGSTERS is the book for you.
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics
are over seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable
as possible but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need
to be considered when judging the overall contents. The stories here were created in a less
enlightened time and there are some images that may offend modern readers.
THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK EDITIONS AS WELL AS IN
EITHER FULL COLOR OR BLACK & WHITE.
