A page from the hard boiled detective series Alack Sinner by Argentinian artist Jose Munoz from 1977. This comic has been called "One of the hundred great comics of the Twentieth Century and one of the ten all-time best drawn" by Tom Spurgeon of The Comic Reporter. I'd have to agree. The art is decadent and bold in the inking. It is hard not to see Frank Miller, Paul Pope and others not taking their influence from this material. Munoz himself was a disciple of Alberto Breccia and knew him well. Although styles vary quite differently, Breccia's influence in panel design and lighting are apparent. This page was from a story called Twinkle Twinkle and appears in on page 180 of IDW's Euro Comics imprint of this can't miss comic. It is dark, it is violent, it is sexual and it is unforgettable. See additional images for a copy of the printed page with English translation.

Hard boiled chiaroscuro magic! This page pulses with rhythm and slithers from panel to panel in sinister moral decay. It's a classic. Big congrats!

Not many of these on CAF. Congrats and welcome to the club! When I got mine I had a choice of several at the same (not low) price. It was almost impossible to choose. Every page was packed with incredible moments--like this one is!
