BLACKSAD: A SILENT HELL
Detective John Blacksad returns, with a new case that takes him to a 1950s New Orleans filled
with hot jazz and cold-blooded murder! Hired to discover the fate of a celebrated pianist, Blacksad
finds his most dangerous mystery yet in the midst of drugs, voodoo, the rollicking atmosphere of
Mardi Gras, and the dark underbelly that it hides!
