Crime Scene: "M"

Freeze! To celebrate the release of The Mammoth Book of Best Crime Comics, we’re celebrating the best crime comics ever, be they new fish or old hoods, in our blockbusting Crime Scene promotion.

Behind every great suspense thriller lurks the shadow of “M”. In “M”, Fritz Lang’s first sound film, Peter Lorre delivers a haunting performance as a serial killer–a whistling pedophile hunted by the police and brought to trial by the forces of the Berlin underworld. In 1990, a young artist, Jon J Muth, continued his rise in the comic book industry by adapting the story into four comics published by Eclipse Comics. Long out of print, they have never been collected together before.
