"[T]here was serious talk about [creating ratings] for comics, and the idea was that I would do a book that would be appalling and offensive... and funny." - Howard Chaykin "It NEVER got THIS nutty in Catholic school." - Rosemary, "Black Kiss", Chapter TenOverview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Kiss However, I'd recommend against reading any part of the article before reading the comic - this one is lots more enjoyable if you don't have any notion of what to expect. Instead, suffice it to say that the (first) book starts out with what seem to be familiar hard-boiled stock characters in a familiar hard-boiled stock plot, except ever so slightly more brutal and sexually explicit. And then... things gradually get... a bit nutty! And then... things rapidly get... a whole lot more so!!Contains: BLACK KISS - Original release of the 2010 Dynamite single-volume edition of the 1988 series.
