An uneasiness festers upon the city streets, threatening the peace and safety of law-abiding citizens. A war is escalating, and it seems as though the good and righteous are being crushed beneath the unholy weight of evils onslaught. Organized crime is spreading in an unchecked reign of terror. Until a mysterious agent of retribution rises up from the shadows to challenge the villains. A lone figure, clad in a slouch hat and clothes seemingly stitched from the blackest shadows, masked in the guise of a skull-faced deatha Grim Deathemerges with guns blazing. With him, a wronged ex-con clad in the striped costume of his misfortuneBill the Electrocuted Criminal. In this beautifully illustrated 1930s-pulp-style novel, two dark new characters by Thomas E. Sniegoski and Mike Mignola take to the street to fight the growing infection of organized crime. Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal are not your average heroes, but they want justice.

Mehso-so

I really wanted to like this book more than I did, set in the 1930's Bentley is assigned by Death to carry out justice in penance. So while this book wasn't for me, hopefully it will be just the thing for one of you. ⭐⭐ 1/2

I've been #obsessed with graphic novels lately. This seems like a good transition back to full novels. Also monkeys are a plus. #maybookflowers

MCYmermaid Monkeys are always a plus! 7y
TieDyeDude I just finished this. I liked it much better than Joe Golem and the Downing City, Mignola's first "illustrated novel." 7y

I was mislead by Mignola's first "illustrated novel" The Drowning City, which is just a novel with a handful of drawings throughout. This is the same concept. The story jumps between past and present each chapter, which is a little frustrating, but so far pretty good stuff.
