Shoutout to George and Cig, the Tuna was killer!
Our concepts: Seth and I both did our research and came across some very interesting nicknames. The mobsters we actually chose were Angelo "The Hook" La Pietra and Albert "Mad Hatter" Anastasia. Here is some information about each of them:
"He earned his nickname "The Hook" due to the way he murdered his victims—those that did not, or could not pay up. He would take his victim—bound and gagged—and hang him on a meat hook, (piercing the victim's rib cage with the meat hook) and then torture him to death with a blow-torch."
"For his leadership in Murder, Inc., Anastasia was nicknamed the "Mad Hatter"...In 1932, Anastasia was indicted on charges of murdering another man with an ice pick."
Both of us wanted to create a more "realistic" and gritty looking character, but have it retain that cartoon quality of the older Dick Tracy and Batman villains.
