Private investigator John Blacksad is up to his feline ears in mystery,
digging into the backstories behind murders, child abductions, and
nuclear secrets. Guarnido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic
style bring the world of 1950s America to vibrant life, with Canales
weaving in fascinating tales of conspiracy, racial tension, and the red
scare Communist witch hunts of the time. Guarnido reinvents
anthropomorphism in these pages, and industry colleagues no less than
Will Eisner, Jim Steranko, and Tim Sale are fans!
Whether John Blacksad is falling for dangerous women or getting beaten
to within an inch of his life, his stories are, simply put,
unforgettable.
