Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini #[nn]

From Hard Case Crime's 2018 pulp-noir lineup comes this collected edition of Cynthia von Buhler's Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini, with every line of art, color, and story crafted entirely by von Buhler herself — a remarkable solo creative achievement. The cover, also painted by von Buhler, sets the tone perfectly: a dark-haired, self-possessed young woman reclines on a tufted velvet chaise in lingerie adorned with delicate beading, her gaze cool and direct — every inch the femme fatale of classic crime fiction. Even Neil Gaiman weighed in, quoted right on the cover: "I was seduced by Cynthia von Buhler's artwork. She is a wonder.
