In this exceptional noir tour de force from writer Juan Díaz Canales
and artist Juanjo Guarnido, the hotly anticipated worldwide bestseller
returns to American shores after a seven-year hiatus with a brand-new
two-part storyline!
Following its chart-topping 2021 release in Europe and now translated
for English-language readers by the team of Brandon Kander and Diana
Schutz, this volume features feline private eye John Blacksad as he
tangles with the unions, the mob, and mid-century construction magnate
Lewis Solomon, who plans to pave New York City's green space, come hell
or high water. From soaring heights to terrifying depths, Blacksad must
steer the right course between the lofty world of Shakespearean theater
and the seedy nether regions of the city. Towering above it all is the
foreboding figure of Solomon, who will let nothing thwart his dream of
power.
With three prestigious prizes from the Angoulême International Comics
Festival as well as multiple Eisner and Harvey awards, the Blacksad
series of graphic albums is a global success story, now published in
thirty-nine different countries. Writer Juan Díaz Canales and artist
Juanjo Guarnido have crafted a master class in comics storytelling for a
worldwide audience.
