Leo Kragg: Prowler — Timothy Truman

The exploits of Leo Kragg: Prowler -- an Old School crimebusting vigilante whose urge to prowl has long since outlived his heyday -- marked a high point of the independent-comics phenomenon of the 1980s and 1990s, teaming comics-scene masters Timothy Truman, John K. Snyder, III, and Graham Nolan with FORGOTTEN HORRORS creator Michael H. Price. Born of the social turmoil of the Great Depression, Kragg's masked alter ego, the Prowler, gained heroic recognition during World War II, when he lent his fists and .45 automatics to the Allied Effort -- only to find himself outlawed once again amidst the rampant paranoia of the 1950s. The original LEO KRAGG: PROWLER series of five issues is collected here for the first time as a self-contained graphic novel, tracing the desperate arc of Leo Kragg's later years as he finds an enemy long believed defunct, the zombie-raising Murder Legendre, at large and wreaking bloody mayhem on a grand scale. Kragg's response is to come charging back as the Prowler -- never mind the burden of years -- and to conscript a reluctant protege, in the process.
