“The Gang Buster”
In "The Gang Buster," a young driver named Jo takes a seemingly simple job to deliver a car to Chesterton—only to uncover a corpse in the trunk, setting off a tense game of cat and mouse. Written, drawn, and inked by Ellis Edwards, this 1938 thriller blends early crime noir with a touch of youthful courage, all framed by John Patterson’s sharp cover art.
