Brown Paper Bag

“Detdrich McClure is a fresh, new storyteller who gives us a mystery told in fumetti style. This is a film noir in book form.”

An Archie Glass Mystery (Book One)

Detdrich McClure delivers a two-fist, guns-blazing story that’s as noir as it is new. We meet Archie Glass, an out-of-work actor in 1948 Hollywood. Being a black man, his prospects are small … until the studio hires him to locate a missing movie star, a beautiful redhead who prefers dusky jazz musicians. So, gun in hand, Archie sets out on a dangerous odyssey that involves hookers, dead bodies, newspaper reporters, a black cowboy star, and a corrupt studio head. Lies, murder, and blackmail, -- it’s all here in this picture-perfect graphic novel.
