In "Investigation," Will Eisner's stark, noir-infused storytelling takes center stage as the State Crime Commission closes in on corrupt official Dolan. Flashing back to a tense two weeks earlier, Dolan's half-brother O'Dolan emerges as a dangerous wildcard, setting off a chain of events that pulls Dolan into a murder mystery in Riverbend—where the past and present collide in a web of deceit. Written by Jules Feiffer and illustrated with precision by Will Eisner, this issue blends moral ambiguity and suspense with the artist’s signature visual storytelling.
