Synopsis: Mobsters are killing each other for four months. They want to make a
deal and build up a peace, but somebody is going to betray them.
Comment: Bill DuBay's story is a logical sequel for the first part. Unfortunately
the story is illustrated letter and what was good in the first part lacks here and leaves
story completely empty. Mr. Corben has done for this story what he can: pages 1 and 4
are graphically most succesful (guts splitting victim and exploding old cars). DuBay's
story does not give much room to explore. The story was never colored; thus it never
appeared in Comix International, like first part did. Most interesing face is
The Butcher himself.
