UNTOUCHABLES

How would life be different today if prohibition had never ended? Would history have changed? What would have become of Elliott Ness' ongoing battles with the mob bosses and bootleggers of his time? Well, here's your chance to find out.

Twenty years after the fall of Capone and the rise to fame of Ness comes a new group of Treasury agents code-named Untouchables. Led by the Ness-like commanding officer, Joe Tarpley, this rag-time, bunch of misfits and sharpshooters are out to take their city back. Crime, like prohibition has not gone away. Corruption runs rampant through the Chicago police force and a new generation of mobsters have taken control of the city. Prohibition now includes not only liquor, but tobacco and firearms. In this new puritan era, gambling seems to be the only vice allowed by law, so casinos have sprouted up around the city-rivaling the neon-glory of Las Vegas. Gun fights, car chases, informants, gangsters, cops, nightclubs and sexy dames galore can be found throughout this hard-boiled, alternate take on the days of the mob and the officers who hunted them.

In the tradition of Caliber's cult-classic Baker Street series, Untouchables, a monthly, black-and-white series, written by Joe Pruett (Dusty Star, The Nameless) and illustrated by talented newcomer John Kissee (Raven Chronicles), with full-color covers by Eisner Award nominated and comics legend Michael Wm. Kaluta.

Released in four issues plus a fifth full story in the first issue of CRIMEWAVE.
