This is a real good murder mystery with some cool plot twists, pretty right-on for classic film noir, both in style and era. Definitely worth a deeper dive when I figure out my Imgur-alternative.

Hervé Bourhis (writer) and Lucas Varela (artist) are the excellent creative team.

EDIT: Welp, this post originally started in frustrating fashion, some of it due to the scheduling tool breaking down repeatedly, and some more of it due to the recent death of my friend and neighbor "Cal," who I'd previously mentioned here in October, when he was in the hospital. Let's just say those were some rough days for me, and I apologise for the creative swearing, i.e. "&*(%!@#."

Ah well, moving on...

I have to check out my library to remember the names, but...

boiling things down visually to make the writer's essential points.

One of the books is drawings only, no text and the story is completely understandable.

Yes, I like that format a lot! Jim Woodring is probably my favorite of all in that arena, but I'm also kind of impressed that it seems to work so well no matter who's doing the art.
