  Another solid issue, with great dialogue from Max Allan Collins and outstanding art from Salaza and Friere. Collins has a ridiculously good understanding of this era, the classic riffs of good crime noir (bit of light bondage, fisticuffs, rain, night action etc), and delivers in spades. The retro artwork just adds to the story, and pulls you even more into this world. The actual story itself is relatively light on originality, but the atmosphere is everything. Read Full Review
