Capsule review, Blacksad TPB 1, Quelque part entre les ombres


In the French graphic novel Blacksad, Juan Díaz Canales takes the familiar tropes of the film noir detective and adds a twist - the sleuth in question is a cat named Blacksad. By anthropomorphizing (assigning human characteristics to animals), Canales imbues the form with a new life. Juanjo Guarnido's beautiful artwork doesn't hurt, either.

En tout cas/In any case, this French murder mystery is worth reading and enjoying more than once.
