Summary: Absolutely amazing
Review: This graphic novel is fantastic, Richard Sala is one of our greatest storytellers and artists. Both talents combine in this noir mystery. I would highly recommend this book to any comic fan, especially those interested in "underground" comics, like the ones published by fantagraphics.
