Johnny Goodbye #[nn]

Three sharply drawn characters — a lanky suited detective, a broad-shouldered companion, and a scruffy street figure — linger outside a New York City storefront on 7th Avenue in this Franco-Belgian crime-comedy album by Attanasio and Ryssack. The title Huile de Freins de Morue (roughly "Cod Brake Oil") already signals the delightfully absurd humor that has defined the Johnny Goodbye series. Published by Éditions Hibou in 2017, it's a handsome addition to any shelf for fans of bande dessinée detective tales with a comedic twist.
