 The stories are unrelentingly violent, and often intentionally amusing, providing a unique fictional take on Chicago's gangland and the latter years of Prohibition.Feldman ended up publishing twelve of the Serrano adventures from 1930-35 in "Gangster Stories", "Greater Gangster Stories", and "The Gang Magazine".As the series progressed, the Cyrano angle was dropped, and Serrano became an unlikely crusader against the social ills of the Depression, albeit applying the gangster's methods of violence, kidnapping, and murder to the problems.
