Blacksad: Amarillo

Blacksad: Amarillo (Blacksad #5), by Juan Diaz Canales, ill Juanjo Guarnido

Everyone's favorite cat-man-detective Blacksad is back on the case. This time, he's got a sweet gig driving a beautiful car across the country- so maybe his never-ending bad luck has ended? Oh, you sweet, wrong individual- of course not. First the car gets stolen and then the hijinks turn, as they always do, in the direction of murder.

As usual, the illustrations are really well-done, the story is bittersweet, and you will be VERY interested to see who the translator was (hint: she works here! and is super talented!)
