About this Collection

This graphic novel from Rick Geary's Treasury of XXth Century Murder series examines the infamous 1947 unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short, known as the Black Dahlia. Geary presents a detailed, fact-based account of the case, exploring the investigation and the media frenzy surrounding the gruesome crime in Los Angeles. The volume collects the complete story originally serialized in comic form, offering a historical true-crime narrative in Geary's signature illustrative style.

"Part One: The Vacant Lot" from Black Dahlia (A Treasury of XXth Century Murder) #nn, written and illustrated by Rick Geary, opens with the grim aftermath of Elizabeth’s burial, plunging readers into a Los Angeles police investigation stalled by silence and secrecy. With no clear leads and confessions pouring in—each lacking crucial details the police have withheld—Geary’s stark, meticulous artwork and precise storytelling lay the groundwork for a chilling, real-world mystery. The cover, also by Geary, captures the mood with its somber, evocative detail.
