True Stories of Australian Crime

Stanley Pitt illustrated this obscure two-issue series from Southdown Press, which launched in 1950 and has continued sporadically to the present. True Stories of Australian Crime offers a gritty, fact-based look at real-life criminal cases from Down Under, distinguished by Pitt's stark, signed artwork. Though brief in its initial run, it stands as an early example of Australian true-crime comics, capturing the nation's postwar fascination with lawbreakers and justice.
