Criminal Volume 1: Coward - by Ed Brubaker (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The bestselling crime series returns to print in strikingly designed new editions from Image, starting where it all began: Criminal Volume 1: Coward--a new take on noir that turned the heist story on its head and created a whole new underworld for Brubaker & Phillips to explore.

Brubaker & Phillips' recent series Fatale and The Fade Out have brought their work to a wider audience of new readers, and now is the perfect time to show them the work that made the award-winning team's reputation!

"Brubaker and Phillips' books have always been about eight years ahead of their time."

-Brian K. Vaughan
