The Turf comic book series is a hard boiled noir crime thriller set in New York in 1929 during the height of prohibition. The cops turn a blind eye while the mobs run the city, dealing in guns, girls and illegal liquor. But the arrival of the mysterious Dragonmir Family from Eastern Europe with more of a taste for blood then booze coincides with a series of brutal attacks on the gangsters themselves. As the gangs fall before the fangs, only handful of mobsters survive. But an unlikely alliance between tough guy Eddie Falco and a character from a long way from Earth offers the humans a glimmer of hope.
