COMICS – Torso: The Grisliest True Crime Hunt You’ll Ever Read

Yo, dive into Torso if you want a gut-punch of real American horror. Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko’s graphic novel rips open the unsolved Cleveland Torso Murders of the ‘30s, where Eliot Ness swaps bootleggers for a headless-body-dumping psycho, chasing clues through foggy streets and corrupt shadows. Packed with actual crime scene photos, gritty black-and-white art, and that noir vibe that’ll have you flipping pages like a detective on edge, it’s not just a story, it’s a raw homage to Bendis’ hometown that snagged Eisner nods for good reason. If true crime comics get your blood pumping, this unsolved nightmare is mandatory.
