The Bronx Kill

A taut, single-issue crime graphic novel from DC, The Bronx Kill (2011) is a hard-boiled story of family secrets and buried violence set against the gritty backdrop of New York's Bronx.

This debut issue stands as a complete, standalone narrative, showcasing Bermejo's formidable talents as both a writer and artist in a noir-inflected exploration of identity and legacy.
