Summary:	"By 1954, the hard-hitting, hard-boiled 'true crime' comics so shocked readers that they were targeted by the government itself. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby produced many of the finest examples of the genre, pushing boundaries and thrilling their audiences. This volume collects 320 pages of action-packed comics, many for the first time, carefully restored and completely uncensored!"--P. [4] of jacket.

Description
Summary:	The creators of Captain America and the Boy Commandos produced some of the hardest-hitting crime comics of the 1950s.<br> <br> Often featuring real-world criminals like Ma Barker, Al Capone, and Pretty Boy Floyd, and true-to-life events like the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, these adventures were torn from post-prohibition headlines.nbsp;Explosive enough to draw the attention of the congressional committee on juvenile delinquency, they remain action-packed fornbsp;today's graphic novel audience.<br> <br> These are the best of the Simon and Kirby Crime comics, fully restored and collected for the firstnbsp;time.
