Murderous Gangsters #4
Murderous Gangsters #4 The issue features a story about Frank Galler, a "trigger-happy terror," who is hired as a gunman to protect an illegal cache and eliminate threats. After a warehouse shootout where Galler kills a watchman and battles Marty Stachel (a "shoot-and-run killer"), Galler escapes with stolen valuables and takes refuge at the home of Tim Landau, an escaped convict hiding under an assumed identity for seven years. Galler's presence threatens Landau's carefully constructed legitimate life, leading to violent conflict as the two criminals struggle over a collection pouch, ultimately resulting in the gun rolling backward off a truck as the men battle for possession.
