Sonny Stern

A short-lived but stylish 1990s crime series from Italian publisher Play Press, Sonny Stern ran for ten issues between 1994 and 1996. The title character is a hard-boiled private eye navigating a shadowy underworld, rendered with the sleek, atmospheric artwork that defined the era's European noir comics. While never a mainstream hit, the series stands as a cult artifact of its publisher's foray into original, creator-driven material.
