Colescott was inspired to begin his Dillinger series after a visit to the old Biograph Theater in Chicago, where Dillinger was ambushed by the FBI. For his version of Dillinger's famed raid on the Mason City, Iowa, bank, Colescott again went to the scene, interviewed Iowans who had been present for the great event.

Then the air-raid sirens would scream, and everyone would scramble for one-man, cement-lined foxholes. One sequence depicted a captured American airman.
