It can also be aimed at and work well for adults.ĭespite being skeptical at first, I am firmly a fan after reading the five main volumes of the Blacksad comic series: Somewhere Within the Shadows, Arctic Nation, Red Soul, A Silent Hell, and Amarillo. ![]() But, Blacksad has convinced me that when done well-instead of being an easily overplayed gimmick-it can be a powerful allegory for the real world, past and present. In adulthood though, I’ve never actively sought out the stuff. Seriously, I loved them and read all twenty-two(!!!) books.

Format: Digital | Author/Artist: Juan Díaz Canales & Juanjo Guarnido | Release Dates: 2000-2013 “Enter a world of crime and mystery, full of criminal rats, jazz-playing gorillas and rhino gangsters-feline private eye John Blacksad is on the case.” ![]()
