Red Handed: The Fine Art of Strange Crimes

Matt Kindt writes and illustrates this single-issue graphic novel from First Second, a clever, self-contained mystery that blends art-world satire with a twisty crime narrative. Published in 2013, it follows a detective investigating a series of bizarre thefts in a museum, where the crimes themselves become a form of artistic expression. Kindt’s intricate linework and playful storytelling make this a distinctive, standalone gem in his body of work, showcasing his talent for weaving visual puzzles into compelling fiction.
