Blacksad

Set in a gritty, anthropomorphic 1950s America, Blacksad follows a hard-boiled black cat private eye navigating a world of corruption and prejudice. This Spanish series, published by Cobolt, is renowned for the lush, painterly art of Juanjo Guarnido and the noir-tinged scripts of Juan Díaz Canales. Though its English-language run is brief at two issues, the series has earned lasting acclaim for elevating the detective genre through its stunning visual storytelling and mature themes.
