Sinossi
Alack Sinner, nato dalla collaborazione tra gli argentini José Muñoz e Carlos Sampayo, è un investigatore coriaceo e disilluso, con una faccia che ha preso molti pugni e un nome che è tutto un programma: Alack "Sventura" e Sinner "Peccatore". Le sue storie sono ambientate negli anni Settanta, in una New York scossa dalle tensioni razziali e dalla guerra del Vietnam. Hard-boiled politico, segnato dalle tensioni della società contemporanea, Alack Sinner racconta la corruzione materiale e morale dei ricchi e dei potenti, e la disperazione malinconica dell'umanità varia e disgraziata - prostitute, drogati, transessuali, sbandati, rivoluzionari - che abita i bassifondi e frequenta i locali dove si ascoltano il jazz di Coltrane e la musica di Lou Reed. Il tutto in un bianco e nero denso e netto, senza passaggi di grigio, cupo come le storie che racconta. Considerato un classico del fumetto, ha cominciato ad apparire su "Alter Linus" a partire dal 1975.

As a comics guy, with a commitment to and interest in the history of comics, and as someone who has in the last couple years read a lot of mystery/detective/noir comics, you would think this would be right up my alley, but I guess it wasn't exactly for me. This is the first volume of an oversized an Leggi tutto
Coś mnie przyciągało do "Alacka Sinnera". Być może dlatego, że Munoz wśród swoich mistrzów wymienia tak cenionych przeze mnie Hugo Pratta i Alberto Breccię, a może zadziałał marketing, status artystów, samego tytułu i jego znaczenie dla współczesnego komiksowego kryminału. Strona graficzna kusiła ni Leggi tutto
I generally enjoy the harsh black and white European style (like IDW EuroComics other recent reprint of Corto Maltese) and this one being set in gritty 70/80s NYC was particularly interesting to me. The quality of the actually stories was a bit up and down, I feel like it lost steam about half way b Leggi tutto
"The Age of Innocence" collects eleven stories by Carlos Sampayo and artist José Muñoz featuring the hard-nosed private investigator named Alack Sinner. The stories are episodic in nature, meant to be read as standalone hardboiled noir tales. Recurring characters like the bartender Joe add some sens Leggi tutto
Great art, interesting and unpredictable (sometimes a little confusing) stories. I loved the cameos by Gato Barbieri and Frank Sinatra. Sort of typical detective story but much more inner turmoil. The street characters are worth the price of admission alone.

It just wasn't for me, I guess....
Wow. One of the best comics I've ever read in any genre. This is a collection of black and white crime comics originally published from 1975-1982 in Spanish. IDW's Euro Comics imprint compiled and translated them to English. The setting is New York City, and the protagonist is a former cop turned priv Leggi tutto
This is the first of two American omnibus collections of the noir graphic novels by Argentine writer Sampayo and artist Muñoz, originally published in Europe from 1975 to 1982. Set in a phantasmagorically corrupt New York City, its grotesquery somewhere between Raymond Chandler and Chester Gould, an Leggi tutto
