Epic magazine has an incredible true-story, told like a piece of fiction:

“Vincenzo Pipino was attractive in a classic Italian way, which is to say he wasn’t good looking at all. He had prominent moles, a high forehead, and slicked back hair, but he radiated a sense of confidence, as if he owned the entire city. In a way, he did. He had robbed many of the buildings he was looking at, and had cased most of the others.”

Seriously, read the whole thing. So entertaining, and brilliantly illustrated and animated. There’s a lot of nonsense on Medium, and the full-screen photos are already a cliché, but with ‘value-add’ (eugh) illustrations like this, it’s more or less the only site whose articles I don’t Instapaper.
