1st printing. Story and art by J. Kelly. Back in print and collected together for the first time, this Stone Church Press edition compiles the first three chapters of Jake Kellys ongoing DEATH, DESTRUCTION, VICE, & SLEAZE saga: DOOMSDAY MAP, SHADOWS WILL FALL, and IN THE NEW ERA. Torn from Clevelands past, these self-contained true crime yarns are a whirlwind ride through the rustbelts underbelly: bombings, murder, betrayal… and the wildest burlesque show you could possibly imagine. While most non-fiction graphic novels are little more than illustrated book reports that piggyback on others research, Jake Kelly rolls up his sleeves and does the hard work– scouring microfiche, cold-calling witnesses, beating the street… and mapping the connections. The result is a dazzling spiders web of corruption, debasement, and the urban id. Revised, corrected, and rescanned from the original art, this collection is a scream of desperation that will continue to echo in readers minds. If you like drinking whiskey from an ashtray, youll love DEATH, DESTRUCTION, VICE, and SLEAZE. Softcover, 108 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $20.00.
