☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology issue containing three crime stories. The lead story, "Brodie Gang Captured," describes how criminals who profited from prohibition rackets turned to other illegal activities and attempted to take over city government, but were ultimately defeated by law enforcement. Another story follows a gambler named Dale Jon-Jon who cheats at cards, gets caught, and is forced to flee to West Virginia, where he eventually meets a tragic end on the gallows. A humorous backup feature depicts children playing with bubble gum, learning about different bubble-blowing techniques and bubble sizes.
Tony "Brodie" Amiotti and Nick Misttrano lead a mob gang moving into a Midwest city, consolidating control over gambling and bookmaking operations while clashing with local rivals like the Kelly brothers. As tensions rise and law enforcement closes in, the gang's grip begins to unravel under pressure from both the police and rival gangs.
The Jon Jon Brothers, Dale and Junior, start their criminal career after being humiliated by bar owner Joe Cozzens, vowing revenge and turning to hijacking shipments of booze and furs. As they expand their operations, they face growing danger from both rival gangs and the law, forcing them to rely on increasingly desperate tactics to stay ahead.
In 1938 Amarillo, Texas, a bitter rivalry ignites between young Chuck Martin and a local bully over the reputation of Chuck’s older brother, Blackie Martin, a legendary gunman. Years later, after Blackie is killed in a shootout, Chuck returns to town, driven by a desire to avenge his brother’s death and confront the truth about his past. As he begins a violent campaign against the police force, the line between justice and vengeance blurs, and the secrets of the Martin brothers come dangerously close to the surface.
