4.5 StarsAnother great volume in the Big Book series. This one wasn't quite as interesting to me as some other volumes, partly due to the fact it seemed very similar to the Big Book of Little Criminals which I read not long before reading this one. Still, some very interesting facts about early American gangs and criminals. Until I saw the film Gangs of New York, I never realized gangs had controlled the city back in the 1800s-turn of the century period. (And even after seeing the movie, wondere...

The thugs bands were roaming cities trough the history and this book is full of stories about such bands. Sadly only few stries are from the another part of the world then America, which made this book little bit dull for non American reader. The most interesting story was about Indian sect, which gave thugs the name.

After seeing this book at some friends’ cabin, I was delighted to find a copy at Powell’s Book. Strange tales told in graphic novel format. Looks like the U.S. was a crazy place to live in its early days…

This entry in 'The Big Book Of' series focuses on many of the lesser known gangs of primarily American history. But first, this book starts with an account of the origin of the word THUG from the history of the thuggees, a murderous cult from India. Journalist Joel Rose looks at gangs from all eras of American history. From it's colonial era days that in ways ignites the spark of American Independence through the old West to the gang wars of New York City. We see glimpses of Mafia's origins in C...

Truth be told, there's not much that can be said about The Big Book of Thugs—largely written by crime historian Joel Rose with assistance from a few dozen other comics creators—that can't be said about other, similar entries in DC Comics/Paradox Press' Big Book Of . . . series: The Big Book of Thugs is fun as well as entertaining; it provides glimpses into areas of history with which many readers may not be familiar, digested into bite-size portions; and the art is generally nice to look at and
