His name is John Blacksad. He's a private detective. He's seen much evil in the past, but never in his long life has he encountered a case as bizarre, as twisted, or as deadly as the one he accepts now. In a town where white supremacists have moved in and are brutally seizing control, Blacksad is asked to find a kidnapped child and bring the kidnappers to justice. As he gets deeper into his investigation, Blacksad discovers a tale of sickening horror involving murder and worse that condemns some of the town's most powerful citizens. 2004 WINNER OF THE 'PRIX DU PUBLIC' & 'BEST ARTWORK' AWARDS at Angouleme International Comics Festival in France--the most prestigious comic awards in Europe.
