Louise Brooks

A rare gem of the Modern Age, Louise Brooks stepped onto the page in Ivan Brunetti's Schizo #4 in 2006, a character born from one of alternative comics' most distinctive and celebrated voices. Her footprint in the catalog is small but choice — three appearances spanning Schizo, NEWAVE! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s, and her own starring vehicle, Louise Brooks: Detective — suggesting a figure with real personality worth building a title around. For collectors drawn to the literary, art-forward corner of NBM's catalog, she's a quietly intriguing discovery.
