Murder Me Dead #[nn]

A noir-tinged crime drama from 2002, this hardcover collects the complete nine-issue series by writer/artist David Lapham. The story follows a wealthy man whose dark past resurfaces after his wife's apparent suicide, pulling him into a web of deceit, murder, and twisted relationships. Lapham's gritty, expressionistic art and morally complex narrative make this a standout in the crime comics genre.
