About the series
Jack Morton, a private detective with a knack for finding trouble, headlined this short-lived but punchy crime comic from the 1949–1950 era. Published by E.L.A.N., the series ran for just nine issues, delivering hard-boiled mysteries and shadowy urban intrigue that fit neatly into the post-war detective boom. While its creators remain less celebrated than the genre's giants, Jack Morton offers a gritty, no-frills snapshot of the kind of tough-guy storytelling that filled newsstands before the Comics Code reshaped the industry.
