Get ready for over 200 pages of classic, 1980s, Ken Landgraf comics!  The New York City Outlaws is, as Jim Rugg states in his introduction, "the ultimate '80s black-and-white explosion book."  This 248 page volume contains all five issues of the series – four in their original black and white;  and one in its original black and white and red – along with the aforementioned introduction by Jim Rugg, a 16-page, illustrated 2024 interview with Landgraf made especially for this volume, and a full color cover gallery. 

New York City Outlaws was – and still is – a pæan to classic old school heroic fantasy comic book values – but dropping the “super” from hero and with a grittier, more violent edge that fit in with the chaotic streets of NYC during that period – with a special emphasis on Wally Wood, as well as nods to Jim Steranko and Paul Gulacy.  

And, if you aren't hep to Landgraf, the best place to start is with his 2019 interview with Josh Bayer on TCJ, HERE.
