Summary

An alternative world where prohibition never ended and in fact expanded to include firearms and tobacco.  Twenty years after the fall of Capone and the rise to fame of Eliot Ness comes a new group of Treasury agents named the "Untouchables".  Here, the rag-time bunch of misfits and sharpshooters are out to take their city back.  In this new puritan era, gambling seems to be the only vice allowed by law, so casinos have sprouted up, rivaling the neon-glory days of Las Vegas.  Gun fights, car chases, informants, gangsters, cops, nightclubs and sexy dames galore can be found in this hard-boiled alternative take on the days of the Mob. From Joe Pruett (X-Men Unlimited), John Kissee (MAD Magazine, Raven Chronicles), Chris Dreier (Angel, Crossed)
Available since: 07/13/2016.

    Five running backs were selected in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Jamaal Charles was not among them. Despite piling up the fourth-most rushing yards at the University of Texas in just three seasons, he waited for eight other running backs to get selected ahead of him.The Middle School Rules of Jamaal Charles features the stories and lessons of Jamaal's childhood, defined by people overlooking him. Young readers will see how Jamaal deals with bullying and endures teasing because of a long undiagnosed learning disability that enabled him to participate in the Special Olympics as a 10-year-old. The gold medals he won at the Special Olympics empowered him, and Jamaal displayed a rare work ethic and determination in everything he did on the field and in the classroom."I just kept working, just kept fighting," Jamaal says. "If you give up, you will not ever know how far you would have gotten."A state champion hurdler, Jamaal ran for 4,107 yards and 50 touchdowns in his final two seasons at Memorial High School in Port Arthur, Texas. But readers will see how hard Jamaal had to study to earn a high enough mark on a standardized test to qualify for a full athletic scholarship.Dogged by doubts about his size, Jamaal is already the Chiefs' all-time leading rusher, a four-time Pro Bowl selection and has more career rushing yards and total touchdowns than all but two of the eight running backs selected ahead of him in the 2008 NFL Draft. In fact, Jamaal owns a special NFL record: More yards per carry (5.5) than any other running back with at least 1,000 career carries!Jamaal wants his legacy to extend beyond football fields. His Jamaal Charles Youth Matters Family Foundation promotes the development of healthy minds and bodies and reinforces the motto that, "Determination wins." Jamaal inspired millions at the Opening Ceremony of the 2015 Special Olympics in Los Angeles by sharing his story of struggle and triumph. "I was afraid. I was lost. I had trouble reading. I found out I had a learning disability," he said. "People made fun of me. They said I would never go anywhere. But I learned I can fly... the Special Olympics gave me my first chance to discover a talent I did not know I had."
