Homicide: The Graphic Novel #1

Based on David Simon's book 'Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets,' this graphic novel adaptation brings the gritty reality of Baltimore's homicide detectives to a new medium. Part One collects the opening chapters of the source material, adapted by writer Philippe Squarzoni and illustrated with stark black-and-white artwork that captures the bleakness and dark humor of the detectives' daily work. This volume sets the stage for the series by introducing key detectives and the cases that define their year-long immersion in the city's murder investigations.
