Blacksad: The Collected Stories

A beloved European noir series makes its Dark Horse debut in this oversized 2020 collection, gathering the first three albums of Juan Díaz Canales and Juanjo Guarnido's celebrated Blacksad saga. With a career-spanning introduction by legendary comics artist Jim Steranko, this volume introduces American readers to the anthropomorphic detective John Blacksad, whose gritty, beautifully painted investigations into corruption, racism, and murder unfold in a 1950s animal-inhabited world. A masterclass in mood and storytelling, it remains a vital entry point for one of the most acclaimed international comics of the 21st century.
