“Alma Roja”

About this Collection

This third volume of the Blacksad series, presented in its original Spanish edition by Norma Editorial, follows the anthropomorphic detective John Blacksad as he investigates a mysterious case involving a missing child and a dark conspiracy tied to the red soil of the American South. Written by Juan Díaz Canales and illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido, the story delves into themes of racism, corruption, and redemption, with Guarnido's lush watercolor art bringing the gritty 1950s setting to life. Collecting the complete 'Alma Roja' story arc, this edition offers a standalone mystery that deepens the noir atmosphere and character development established in earlier volumes.

Blacksad #3, published in 2005 by Norma Editorial, continues the noir series with its signature blend of hard-boiled detective storytelling and richly detailed artwork. The story, titled "Alma Roja," features the private investigator John Blacksad and his companions, navigating a complex mystery through a world populated by anthropomorphic animals. The issue is illustrated and colored by Juanjo Guarnido, with lettering by Martín Garcés, and its cover was created by Guarnido in both pencils and inks.
