Goldfish

Brian Michael Bendis wrote and drew this gritty, black-and-white crime comic from Image Comics, launching in 1998. The series follows a professional grifter named David Goldfish, a man with a photographic memory and a troubled past, as he navigates the seedy underbelly of Cleveland. A raw, early showcase of Bendis’s signature dialogue-driven style and noir sensibility, Goldfish helped establish him as a major talent in the crime genre before his celebrated runs at Marvel.
