Alack Sinner

From 2003 to 2006, Planeta DeAgostini collected the gritty, existential adventures of private eye Alack Sinner in an eight-issue series. Written by Carlos Sampayo and drawn by José Muñoz, this Argentine crime saga is celebrated for its moody, expressionistic black-and-white art and its unflinching look at urban decay and political corruption. A landmark of international comics, it brings a film-noir sensibility to the page, with Muñoz’s dense, scratchy linework and Sampayo’s hard-boiled dialogue creating a world as weary as its protagonist.
