The Crime Master: The Complete Battles Of Gordon Manning & The Griffin, Volume 1 (Gordon Manning And The Griffin) - Plot & Excerpts
The Griffin—an apt symbol, this mythical creature, half lion, half eagle, ready to rend with beak and claw, to swoop or leap, and to destroy.Save for the outward appearance, the house was practically a fortress, impregnable, almost, to all but artillery fire. It was less than fifty miles from the towers of Manhattan, twenty minutes of flying time, an hour and a half by motor or train. Yet, so remote was it, so cleverly did the Griffin carry out his comings and his goings, that few people knew the place existed at all.The trees were thick enough, and the house so cunningly placed in a natural depression, that summer or winter, it could not be seen from the infrequently traveled road. The drive that led upward to the evil aerie was masked. It seemed merely an inconsequential lane, a wood road, perhaps, or a way for cows, from and to pasture.Deep in the bowels of the knoll, the Griffin had his underground laboratories. There the men who were his slaves labored—men no longer known by name, but only by number, serfs to his despotism.
