On the Road to Perdition #3
"Book 3: Detour" delivers a tense, relentless chapter in Max Allan Collins’ gritty crime saga, with José Luis García-López’s sharp, atmospheric art bringing the shadowed streets of 1930s Kansas City to life. As Michael O'Sullivan pushes deeper into the underworld, Connor Looney’s desperate move to kidnap Katie O'Daly sets off a chain of violent consequences, forcing the O'Sullivans to flee once more—this time not just from danger, but from the past itself. Steve Lieber’s cover captures the moment with stark precision, his pencils and inks echoing the story’s uneasy tension.
