This story is a classic tale of deception and power struggles and the great “who done it.”. 1 is about the murder of the famous movie actress, Natalia Willford. The first of the three stories included in Blacksad Vol. John, a black cat, is a private detective dealing with a share of beautiful and dangerous women, thugs, mafia, and cigarettes. The species of each of the characters reflect what kind of role they play in the story. John Blacksad is a black cat in an anthropomorphized world.
It is a blend of noir and the 1940s and 1950s aesthetic with the “Sam Spade” type detective novel.
My Thoughtsīlacksad might be one of the most perfect noir graphic novels I have ever read. * This internationally acclaimed series has won nearly a dozen prestigious awards - including the Angoulême Comics Festival prizes for Best Series and Best Artwork-and is a three-time Eisner Award nominee. * Dark Horse is very proud to present the first three Blacksad stories in a beautiful hardcover collection, completely relettered to the artist’s specifications and with the latest album, Red Soul, in English for the very first time.
