Contains 5 stories
The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre
1 pp · Crime
Al Capone!
7 pp · crime

In early 1920s Chicago, a ruthless New York stevedore named Al Capone arrives to work as a bodyguard for the notorious crime boss Torrio, learning the rackets through violence, intimidation, and executions. As Capone's power grows and his ambitions outpace his loyalty, he sets his sights on taking control of the entire underworld—using betrayal and bloodshed to eliminate anyone standing between him and total dominion over Chicago. This is the story of how a street enforcer became the city's most feared mobster during Prohibition's darkest years.

"Dutch" Schultz
8 pp · crime

Rising from New York's slums, Dutch Schultz clawed his way to the top of the underworld through murder, extortion, and ruthless ambition, leaving a trail of broken bodies in his wake. As his criminal empire grows and his paranoia deepens, those closest to him begin to see him not as a leader but as a dangerous liability. Justice, however, has been watching—and it always collects its debt.

Lucky Luciano
7 pp · crime

Young Salvatore Luciana arrives in America in 1907 with dreams of a better life, but five years in New York's brutal streets transform his hope into ambition—the kind that turns a delivery boy into a hardened criminal willing to do whatever it takes to survive. As he rises through the ranks of organized crime, shedding his old identity for the name Charlie Luciano and eventually earning the nickname "Lucky" through a series of near-fatal encounters, he consolidates power by uniting New York's warring crime families into a ruthless syndicate. This is the climb of a man determined never to be nothing, told through the violent machinery of the underworld that made him one of its most feared architects.

John Dillinger
7 pp · crime

In 1951's "John Dillinger," we follow a sixteen-year-old kid in a small Indiana town whose need for money to impress a girl sets him on a collision course with crime—a botched grocery store robbery that lands him a decade in the state penitentiary. There, he befriends three hardened inmates and dreams of assembling them into the most fearsome bank-robbery gang in the nation, eventually securing their escape with guns and cash smuggled through a prison supply truck. The story charts his rise from small-town heist driver to Public Enemy Number One, and the federal manhunt that finally closes in on him.
