# Giants of Crime In the main story "Giants of Crime," Doll Man battles criminals who have gained the ability to grow to enormous size, becoming a threat that is harder to defeat the larger they become. The villains include a woman with a red cape and a man named Eben Slade, whose scheme involves a false legend about Caesar's statue being linked to a murder—the statue itself bearing bloodstains and evidence of a struggle. Doll Man must stop these super-sized criminals while working to uncover the truth behind the murder and Slade's deception before they escape.
