SYNOPSIS
New York. 1939. Comics creator Jack Levi places his life and career on the line when he begins an illicit affair with the femme fatale lover of his mafia boss publisher.

QUOTE FROM THE CREATOR
“Hoyt Silva and I always knew it would take a publisher of vision—of true boldness and daring—to publish a controversial book like COMIC BOOKS KILL. So we were ecstatic when an industry firebrand like Scout Comics took the project onboard. Under their banner, time has proven us to be in the most capable of hands. And our experience with Scout editorial has been second to none!” Shane Berryhill, writer/co-creator, COMIC BOOKS KILL
REVIEWS
“This story perfectly captures a time when comics lifted our imaginations and gangsters ruled our nightmares, but it brings them together with a crash of heart and stones.” – Brian Stelfreeze, award-winning artist of Black Panther, Daymen, & Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight
