Stray Bullets #2

This second volume of the acclaimed crime series continues the sprawling, nonlinear narrative set in the 1970s and 1980s, following a cast of damaged characters whose lives intersect through violence, betrayal, and chance. Collecting issues #9-16 of the original series, David Lapham's gritty, emotionally raw storytelling and stark black-and-white art delve deeper into the aftermath of a botched kidnapping and the ripple effects on the young Virginia Applejack and others. The collection expands the series' bleak, humanistic vision of American noir, cementing its reputation as a modern classic in the genre.
