DARK HORSE COMICS
StockID: 70975 SKU: JAN230514

Private investigator John Blacksad is up to his feline ears in mystery- digging into the backstories behind murders- child abductions- and nuclear secrets. Guarnido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 1950s America to vibrant life- with Canales weaving in fascinating tales of conspiracy- racial tension- and the 'red scare' Communist witch hunts of the time. Guarnido reinvents anthropomorphism in these pages- and industry colleagues no less than Will Eisner- Jim Steranko- and Tim Sale are fans! Whether John Blacksad is falling for dangerous women or getting beaten to within an inch of his life- his stories are- simply put- unforgettable. o 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. o 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. o Blacksad took Europe by storm in 2000 and sold over 200-000 copies in France alone.

CBCS Comic Grading Scale

Overstreet Comic Grading Standards

We will not accept returns or exchanges any book with out a stated grade where they would be NM 9.4 or better books.  We cannot promise 9.8s on every book, that's not realistic.  Printing is imperfect and does not allow for every book to be 9.8. 

Please note that the following defects may be allowed in NM 9.4 as long as there is not an accumulation of defects.

bindery defects like minor to moderate corner tears, white along the edge of the spine, covers that are offset from the pages (common on cardstock covers) - bindery defects may not affect the grade much if at all

printing defects like a slight color rubs on the back covers, small wrinkles in the paper that were present on the paper rolls prior to the books being printed, paper that is "wavy" from the printing process

2 - 3 small color breaking spine dings or minor non color breaking spine dings
