DESCRIPTION:
"The printing size messes it up." according to S.D.. I like Rick Geary's work, and the work within this collection is undoubtedly good work. Ok, maybe he draws (or drew - these were published in the 80's) hands funny, but they're present so much (heck, see the cover) as to be a part of his signature style and not some short. "True crime by a master." according to Amazon Customer. I have wanted to read these books for some time, but the price of the individual books was a little bit more than I was willing to pay. But the compendium price made me go for it. I like Geary's art, and I think he has captured the feel of the era quite well. As a fan of . "Great author/artist combo, fantastic stories" according to Wendy A. Emlinger. Loved these stories so much, I gave my hard-bound books to my school library and bought this compilation for myself, A great way to learn history and a not too gory introduction to famous historical murders that's safe for kids.

"Geary’s very dry wit and expert pacing hit just the right note on this journey into the macabre." -No Flying No Tights
