BLACKSAD: SILENT HELL HC

(W) Juan Diaz Canales  (A) Juanjo Guarnido

Detective John Blacksad returns, with a new case that takes him to a 1950s New Orleans filled with hot jazz and cold-blooded murder! Hired to discover the fate of a celebrated pianist, Blacksad finds his most dangerous mystery yet in the midst of drugs, voodoo, the rollicking atmosphere of Mardi Gras, and the dark underbelly that it hides!

The long awaited sequel to one of the greatest noir comics in existence is finally available in a version you can read, not just stare at the purty pictures! Sporting lush and moody art from Guarnido, who draws animals better than most people draw people, is truly a treasure to behold, even amongst the many talented artists working in comics today. Highly recommended for fans of Parker, Criminal, Blue Estate, or anyone who just likes a good mystery, Blacksad will not disappoint! RECOMMENDED BY PERRY!
