Donald Trump's Role Model...AL CAPONE!

Perhaps the most notorious gangster of all time is Al Capone...

...who was so ruthless and cunning that the only crime The Law could ever prove he committed was income tax fraud!

No wonder disgraced, twice-impeached, ex-President Don "The Con" Trump admires him so!

Bet Don da Con wishes he could deal with problems like this, eh?

In the Days of the Mob #1 (1971) was a b/w "true crime" magazine, featuring graphic dramatizations of real-life criminals' stories...as you've just seen.

Regrettably, it only ran one issue, though the complete second edition was prepared and ready to go to the printer when the ax fell.
The title was edited/written/illustrated by Jack Kirby, inked by Vince Colletta.

IN THE DAYS OF THE MOB "Welcome to HELL!"

In 1971, Jack Kirby wanted to re-introduce "true crime" comics...

...as part of a line of adult-oriented b/w magazines covering various genres.

We covered one of the other proposed books, Soul Love, in our "sister" blog True Love Comics Tales™.
Of the various titles Kirby wanted to do, only two saw publication; Spirit World (about psychic phenomena) and In the Days of the Mob, and they only had one issue each!
We'll be re-presenting both that first issue of ItDotM and a couple of stories from the never-published second issue that did see print in various other HTF venues.
