Synopsis "Blacksad: They All Fall Down - Part Two"

The Eisner- and Harvey-winning story begun in Blacksad: They All Fall Down - Part One comes to a thrilling conclusion as private investigator John Blacksad finds himself in a race against time to save his best friend from the electric chair! Weekly's been framed by Lewis Solomon, the power behind New York's construction boom, but the king of the hill has built his empire on a mound of corpses, including union attorney Kenneth Clarke and theater director Iris Allen, and Blacksad must take out their killer before he can take down Solomon. But with Weekly in stir and cops on his heels, the feline detective is minus an ally--and the sudden reappearance of his lost love Alma promises a dangerous distraction as he seeks to uncover the truth. This explosive new story written by Juan Díaz Canales, illustrated by Juanjo Guarnido, and translated for English-language readers by Diana Schutz and Brandon Kander, concludes in Blacksad: They All Fall Down - Part Two, on sale in November 2024.
