"Criminal" is a series of knife-sharp, noir-tinged tales about the people who live on the wrong side of the law."In The Dead and the Dying", three crucial players in the world of Criminal are thrust into the spotlight: the bleak tale of Criminal - Coward's grizzled bartender Gnarly; the grim history of alcoholic thief and murderer Teeg Lawless (father of Tracy Lawless, as seen in "Criminal: Lawless"), and a hard-luck femme fatale...By award-winning writer Ed Brubaker ("Gotham Central") and acclaimed artist Sean Phillips ("Marvel Zombies"), this gritty take on society's underbelly also contains exclusive articles on noir cinema by Brubaker, with illustrations by Phillips!
"With an assist from Phillips' noir-kissed art, Brubaker proves a wordsmith of rare restraint, fine-tuning a well-worn genre" - Entertainment Weekly * "A consummately conceived crime tale, written in the hard-boiled style of novelist Jim Thompson and illustrated in the shadowy manner of Hollywood film noir" - Scotland on Sunday on Criminal: Coward "A sharp, smart comic that rises above the genre's cliches to create something fresh and exciting... one of the best new series of 2006." - Penn Patriot-News"
