In the Pines - 5 Murder Ballads

In the Pines - 5 Murder Ballads is a single-issue graphic collection from Scratch Books (2016–present), written and illustrated by Erik Kriek. The volume adapts five classic murder ballads into vivid, noir-tinged comic narratives, each tale drawn from folk song tradition. Kriek’s moody, expressive art and faithful yet fresh storytelling make this a distinctive entry in the realm of music-inspired comics.
