The Lambada Collection #4

Volume Four of Fantagraphics' Lambada Collection arrives with Blood Road and Other Stories, an adults-only anthology that signals serious, mature storytelling. The cover sets a tense, intimate mood — a bound figure seen from behind dominates the foreground while a second person looks on from the shadows, rendered in a muted, cinematic palette that feels more noir thriller than exploitation. At $12.95, it's a substantial collection that wears its grown-up ambitions right on its sleeve.
