In 1929, during the height of Prohibition, Al Capone and Bugs Moran were both pining to take control of Chicago’s illegal liquor trade.
Upon realizing that he and his men could no longer fight fire with fire, Bugs decides to embrace a more elegant solution: starting a prank war with Al Capone.
The pranks start out harmless, and mainly serve to attack Al Capone’s pride.
However, Al Capone and his goons prove to be more resilient than anticipated, and are not so quick to surrender Chicago to their North Side rivals.
The resulting back and forth eventually leads to the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
This rhyming graphic novel has Capone, Moran, bootlegging, gore, a whorehouse run by an intense madame, doppelgängers, explosive diarrhea, a party, a redheaded whore, burying bodies, a man with a mustache, the formation of the crime syndicate, Elliot Ness and his Untouchables, the history of the Irish and their relationship to potatoes, pranks, and of course… syphilis.
We are very excited to share this project with the world once it is finished, and are extremely hopeful for our upcoming Kickstarter Campaign which will be live on Valentine’s Day 2025.
While this story has only very recently started to take shape with the addition of these incredible images, it has been pushed to the back burner behind other creative endeavors for the last eight years, and it is thrilling to finally see it coming to life.
