Take a trip through Chicago’s colorful underworld with Tales from the Neighborhood: Chicago, a 64-page comic collection exploring the true stories, strange moments, and larger-than-life characters of Chicago's organized-crime history.
From Al Capone and Tony Accardo to Johnny Torrio, Jake Guzik, Sam Giancana, and more, these illustrated tales dig into the people and events that helped shape Chicago’s notorious reputation. Each story takes a piece of real Mafia history and gives it a humorous comic twist—because sometimes the truth is stranger (and funnier) than fiction.

Whether you’re a Chicago history enthusiast, true crime buff, Mafia aficionado, or comic fan, there’s something here for anyone fascinated by the stories lurking in Chicago’s past.
