This was a pretty intense story to find among all the Robin Hoods and Rob Roys. It's based on a real-life incident that raised a media frenzy at the time. All the stuff about escaping Dartmoor and having a history of murdering wealthy wives seems to have been invented for this comic. Corder did have a bad reputation but his deeds were along the lines of bouncing checks and stealing pigs. Officer James Lea (sic) and company apparently didn't have much trouble finding Corder and apprehended him without a big fight scene.
