Dry County #2

Rich Tommaso's Dry County continues its sun-baked noir atmosphere in this second issue of the Everyman Crime Series. The cover — rendered entirely in moody shades of pink and mauve — sets the scene outside a bar called The Blue Lantern, its "Grand Opening!" sign displayed in the window alongside a "$2.00 Beer Bucket" special, while a figure sits behind the wheel of a parked car out front. Tommaso, known for Dark Corridor and Spy Seal, brings that same stylish, stripped-down graphic sensibility to this evocative slice of street-level crime fiction.
