Alack Sinner

Alack Sinner, a hard-boiled private eye series created by José Muñoz and Carlos Sampayo, debuted in English through Carlsen in 1989. Known for its stark, expressionistic black-and-white art and politically charged noir storytelling, the series follows its weary detective through a corrupt, melancholic Buenos Aires—and later, New York. Though this particular Carlsen edition contains only a single issue, the larger, decades-spanning Alack Sinner saga is a landmark of mature, literary comics, influencing generations of artists with its raw, cinematic style.
