DESCRIPTION:
This was outlined as a longer series, notes the author; why the publisher dropped it is a mystery.

From Booklist Brubaker’s scripts are a big deal nowadays, and he has a handful of Eisners to prove it, but this deluxe edition of a four-issue miniseries (first published by Vertigo in 1999) shows how he m
From the co-creators of Gotham Central and FATALE comes a lost crime noir masterpiece. Also included in this new collection are behind-the-scenes art and stories, a new foreword by Brubaker, and many other extras.. Long out of print, and presented here for the first time in an oversized hardback edition, Scene of the Crime was the first time Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark worked together — before their acclaimed runs on Daredevil and Gotham Central — and was inked by Sean Phi
"Fine mystery, good cast of characters." according to Daniel H. Bigelow. I like detective stories only when they're well told.

Hugh C. Howey said Steady pace and twisting plot make for a great comic read.. I just got an email from my sister; she was raving about WATCHMEN, catching me up on where she is on FABLES, planning on starting THE WALKING DEAD volume that I gave her and letting me know that she has made friends with another comic geek in town. It was enough to make a grown man cry.For those of you that haven't given comics a chance ever in your life, or have looked at a few and dismissed them, please keep reading. I want to help you realize something that my sister just came to grips with: Comics are for everyone, you just have to find the right ones. And that is wh
