Barry Gifford's Perdita Durango

Published by Rowohlt and launched in 1997, Barry Gifford's Perdita Durango expands the author's wild road-pulp universe into comics form. Written by Gifford and Bob Callahan with art by Scott Gillis, this single-issue series follows the iconic, dangerous title character through a darkly romantic and violent American landscape. It matters as a key extension of Gifford's literary world into sequential art, bringing his distinctive voice and Perdita's ruthless charm to a new medium.
