About the series
In the mid-1970s, Western Publishing brought the gritty realism of the hit TV show Adam-12 to comic racks, chronicling the daily patrols of LAPD officers Reed and Malloy over a 10-issue run. Writers like Paul S. Newman and artists such as Jack Sparling captured the era's procedural drama, focusing on community policing and street-level crime without the flash of superheroics. This series stands as a faithful, understated artifact of 1970s law-enforcement storytelling, aimed at young readers who followed the badge.
