Alligatore - Dimmi che non vuoi morire #[nn]

A collaboration between writer Massimo Carlotto and artist Igort, this Italian noir from Coconino Press carries an atmosphere of quiet dread right from its cover — a lone figure standing at the edge of a stark, weathered landscape, dwarfed by crumbling buildings beneath a cool violet sky. The subtitle *Dimmi che non vuoi morire* ("Tell me you don't want to die") sets a tone that's both melancholic and menacing, perfectly matched by Igort's moody, high-contrast artwork. For readers drawn to European crime comics with a literary edge, this 2007 volume is a compelling place to start.
