Features: The author of this book, Max Allan Collins, was once the scriptwriter for the famous comic strip "Terry and the Pirates." He served as the scriptwriter for the comic strip for 15 consecutive years after 1977. In 1993, he collaborated with the comic artist René on this comic strip, which created a huge impact. In 2002, DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox adapted the comic strip into a film, starring the acclaimed actor Tom Hanks, which was released in July 2002 and achieved excellent box office success. The Chicago underworld during the Prohibition era was an important historical phenomenon of the 20th century in the United States and has remained a popular theme in American cinema, television, literature, and art. The characters in this comic strip, such as Al Capone, Frank Nitti, and Eliot Ness, are not only real historical figures but also depicted based on these historical figures. To help readers understand the profound meaning of this work, we have included an overview of the Chicago underworld at that time and related historical photographs at the beginning of the book. In addition to enhancing readability, readers can also gain some historical knowledge from them.
