Black Dahlia (A Treasury of XXth Century Murder) #[nn]
"Part One: The Vacant Lot" from Black Dahlia (A Treasury of XXth Century Murder) #nn, written and illustrated by Rick Geary, opens with the grim aftermath of Elizabeth’s burial, plunging readers into a Los Angeles police investigation stalled by silence and secrecy. With no clear leads and confessions pouring in—each lacking crucial details the police have withheld—Geary’s stark, meticulous artwork and precise storytelling lay the groundwork for a chilling, real-world mystery. The cover, also by Geary, captures the mood with its somber, evocative detail.
