Blacksad: The Collected Stories

By: Juan Diaz Canales

The classic hardboiled noir series featuring beloved anthropomorphic cat detective, John Blacksad, celebrates its twentieth year. Readers will now be able to experience five of Blacksad's biggest cases in a single comprehensive volume with new sketchbook material never published in English. Blacksad is constantly up to his ears in trouble. Sticking his nose into mystery after mystery, often getting involved with women almost as dangerous as the criminals he thwarts. Be it solving the murder of a famous actress or keeping nuclear weapons out of terrorist hands, Blacksad's grim work often provides a mirror for real world conflict and human issues, never turning a blind eye to racism, political tensions, or brutally sudden violence. Canales and Guarnido redefine the standards for graphic storytelling, carving striking characters that are both animalistic and intimately human. Guarnido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 1950s America to life, earning high praise from comics legends like Will Eisner, Stan Lee, Jim Steranko, and Tim Sale! This volume collects the following Blacksad stories: Somewhere Within the Shadows, Arctic Nation, Red Soul, A Silent Hell, Amarillo; and the comic shorts "Spit at the Sky" and "Like Cats and Dogs.

Blacksad - Volume 2 - Arctic nation

By: Juan Diaz Canales

Oldsmill, the town's head honcho, is a white tiger. Karup, the chief of police, is a white bear. Huk, Karup's henchman, a white fox. Along with the other animals of immaculate pelt, they form the WASP association (W for White, AS for Anglo-Saxon, P for Protestant). All other town residents, from the black magpie to the reddish-brown fox to the tabby cat, are nothing but trash. And if the police aren't able to enforce white law, the wide-reaching arms of the ruthless Arctic Nation party, hooded and decked out in white robes, will soon put things in order. And they've got all the ropes and burning crosses they need. In this unwelcoming environment, Blacksad, a private detective, is investigating the disappearance of a child of color, Kyle. Dinah, Kyle's mother, had a job as Karup's housemaid, and some say she was getting pretty friendly with Oldsmill's son. It doesn't take Blacksad long to get his claws right into the vipers' nest, and he's as quick to lash out as any of them...

Judee Sill

Judee Sill

By: Canales Diaz Juan

1979. North Hollywood. Deux policiers découvrent une junkie décédée dans son appartement. Une affaire sordide de plus ? Non. Car la victime est une certaine Judee Sill, étoile filante de la Folk qui connut une brève heure de gloire seventies avant de mystérieusement disparaître dans la nuit de l'anonymat... Enfant révoltée, délinquante récidiviste, droguée et prostituée notoire : Judee fut tout cela et pire parfois. Mais elle fut surtout une musicienne touchée par la grâce, dont le timbre et la personnalité marquèrent de leur doux fer ceux qui l'entendirent et la côtoyèrent.C'est ce destin dramatique, romanesque et musical que vous invitent à remonter Juan Díaz Canales (Blacksad, Corto Maltese) et Jesus Alonso Iglesias, au gré d'un scénario rythmé comme une partition, servi par un dessin restituant comme jamais les années 70 et s'autorisant parfois de sidérantes envolées psychédéliques.
