One of Biro's most impressive feats was his guiding of 'Daredevil', created by Don Rico and Jack Binder in 1940. Biro took it over and wrote, drew and edited the series until its end, introducing into it such innovative characters as 'The Little Wise Guys'. Another creation by Biro was 'Crimebuster' (1942) and 'Crime Does Not Pay' (1942). Apart from these titles, Biro also marketed the first adult comic book, 'Tops', in 1949, and made 'Poppo of the Popcorn Theatre' in the 1950s. Biro left the comics field for television in 1962, and died in March 1972.
Charles Biro was an influence on John Romita, Sr.. His 'Crime Does Not Pay' series also inspired Paul Gordeaux' newspaper comic series 'Le Crime Ne Paie Pas'.
