American Update: Kirby Krime from the 1940s: Justice Traps The Guilty
*Miscellaneous 1940-1959: As we’ve said before, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby famously produced a wealth of material in the 1940s and 1950s in a wide variety of genres. Justice Traps the Guilty was a crime series by them from Prize, of which we have four issues new in this week from 1947 onwards. All issues have a varying amount of Simon & Kirby work present.
