About this title

Synopsis

Fight crime alongside the one-eyed, two fisted Chicago private eye in these explosive comics from the early 1950s!

At the height of the Mickey Spillane crime novel craze of the early 1950s came Johnny Dynamite to rival Mike Hammer in wild, sexy yarns! Illustrated by Pete Morisi and written by Ken Fitch, the complete mini graphic novels from the rare Dynamite comic book (1953-'55) are collected here by the creators of Ms. Tree, Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) and Terry Beatty (Rex Morgan, M.D.). 

Collins, Spillane's chosen literary heir, and Beatty provide revealing and profusely illustrated introductions and a Collins/Beatty Johnny Dynamite tale is included as a bonus!
