Wherever men live, be they nomads or city dwellers, there they must have law and a man to enforce it.

Meet Detective John Law of Crossroads City. Strong, decent, hardworking and hard-nosed. He’s a man who believes in the law and order. He’s the last of a dying breed.


In 1948, Will Eisner produced the first issue of “John Law Detective”, which he intended to add to a line of self-published comics. However, after Eisner's “Baseball Comics”, “Kewpies”, and “Pirate Comics” failed to find an audience, John Law never made it to the newsstand and was quietly dropped, with much of the original artwork reworked in 1950 for his most famous creation, The Spirit.

Featuring original stories by Will Eisner, Gary Chaloner’s award-winning reboot from 2004, including a previously unpublished John Law Story, and a foreword by long-time Eisner publisher Denis Kitchen, this is a must-have for not just Eisner fans but comic collectors of all ages.“A lost crime comic by the great Will Eisner? This is the stuff dreams are made of.”
Charles Ardai (Hard Case Crime publisher and writer for Gun Honey)

This is a great collection, unveiling Eisner’s original John Law stories as they were meant to be seen. Geek Vibes Nation

The art is extremely seductive. Slings and Arrows

The work Titan Comics put into the restoration of these comics is spot on. The shadow work in particular is truly something to behold. Comics Beat
