About the series
Down with Crime, an eight-issue series from Cleland, ran from 1950 into the early 1950s, delivering hardboiled, no-frills crime stories in the classic post-war comic book style. Known for its stark, pulp-inspired artwork and gritty tales of gangsters, heists, and urban corruption, the series stands as a compact but potent example of the crime genre's early, pre-Code era. Its brief run and Cleland imprint make it a notable artifact for collectors of vintage crime comics.
