DESCRIPTION:
"Fine mystery, good cast of characters." according to Daniel H. Bigelow. I like detective stories only when they're well told. Dashiel Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, Walter Mosley, Robert Parker, and Sue Grafton are the only ones I read regularly. Brubaker's work here is in that class.Brubaker creates a great family-tangled-in-the-past mystery a la Ross Macdonald and adds a cast of supporting characters for the private detective that is only rivaled by those created by Robert . "Fans of Criminal shouldn't miss out on this one" according to Jay Vee. Before Ed Brubaker and artists Michael Lark and Sean Philipps worked on Gotham Central, Daredevil, Sleeper, Fatale and Criminal, they started out with this detective story and you could already see their genius at work.

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 readin

But the next morning, she’s dead, and a stricken Herriman is determined to find out why. San Francisco PI Jack Herriman finds a woman’s missing sister and reports back that she’s OK. 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 Ve
Also included in this new collection are behind-the-scenes art and stories, a new foreword by Brubaker, and many other extras.. From the co-creators of Gotham Central and FATALE comes a lost crime noir masterpiece. 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 Phillips, who also designed this deluxe edition.This is where it all began, with a hard-hitting mystery story set in a modern-day "Chinatown" that garnered nominations for Best Mini-series and Best Writer in the 2000 Eisner Awards
