Private investigator John Blacksad is up to his feline ears in mystery, digging
into the backstories behind murders, child abductions, and nuclear secrets. Guar
nido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 195
0s America to vibrant life, with Canales weaving in fascinating tales of conspir
acy, racial tension, and the "red scare" Communist witch hunts of the time. Guar
nido 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.
