As you watch this video you may realize that this is a truly awesome graphic novel and Steranko’s masterpiece, in fact a defining work of his career, and that grabbing this book is not only a wonderful, immersive reading experience, but a rare opportunity to experience the creative genius that is Jim Steranko.

This is an amazing comic book experience that I recommend everyone read, especially if you are a fan of classic pulp crime stories or if you are a fan of fantastic artists like Jim Steranko.

It’s a book that immensely has gone up in value over the last few years and I think this is due to his fans discovering, or re-discovering this often overlooked gem.

This was way ahead of its time and many consider it the first American graphic novel which was a breakthrough in how comics would be read forever going forward. This is the story of the once great Marvel and DC comics artist creating his own noir detective hard boiled story.
