Down with Crime #3
In "The Gun," young Frankie’s life takes a dangerous turn when he stumbles upon a .38 caliber automatic, a discovery that leads him to Kansas City and a fateful alliance with Bonnie. As his reckless actions spiral out of control, Frankie earns the chilling nickname "Gunner" while plunging into a violent crime spree. Bernard Baily handles both art and inks with sharp, expressive detail, and Ed Hamilton’s lettering adds tension to every page—this 1952 Fawcett classic is a raw, early look at a troubled youth’s descent into notoriety.
