Crime Comic Books

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 – running time 32:12
Have you got a thing for heists, bank jobs, or capers? Lucky for you crime comics have made a massive comeback in recent years, and now there are some fantastic books for fans of the seedy underbelly of the world.

One thing (most of) iFanboy loves is a good crime comic book. Many of the biggest names in comics today got started doing crime comics before they hit the big time. Brian Michael Bendis did the independent comics Jinx and Goldfish before he ever steered the Avengers. And while Ed Brubaker has plenty of fun with Captain America, books like Scene of the Crime and Gotham Central gave him his start, and he's still going with Criminal today. Warren Ellis, known mostly for sci-fi makes his mark on the very stark book, Fell. Then there's Hawaiian Dick, which takes place in Hawaii in the 50's, by B. Clay Moore. And, if you want true crime, there's Union Station by Ande Parks, or the Treasury of Murder series by Rick Geary. It's all there for the taking, if you've got the stones.
