Corruption, violence, decay: European comics master Hermann and the up-and-coming writer Yves H. take a viciously satirical look at the dark side of the American soul. From the evil that stalks the eastern seaboard setting of Blood Ties to the crime-ridden Los Angeles of Girl from Ipanema , these three stories paint a picture of a new Babylon. Collected for the first time, and presented for the first time in an English-language translation, it's a vision of the USA that could only come from without.
This is a MUST READ for those who aren't squemish with Detective Noir!

I had to round up because:
BLOOD TIES= ****
MANHATTAN BEACH 1957= *****
THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA= ***** and the best of the three!
The art is AUTHENTIC AMERICA from three separate generations in three settings: New York City / Middle+Mountain Time Zones / Los Angeles.
