Murder By High Tide HC (Gil Jordan)

Murder By High Tide HC (Gil Jordan) by TILLIEUX, M.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781606994511.

Imagine the beautifully crisp images of Hergé (Tintin) put in service of a series of wisecracking, fast-paced detective stories ― punctuated with scenes of spectacular vehicular mayhem (including in this volume a dockside pursuit via car and bulldozer). Gil Jordan is a nattily dressed but tough-as-nails private eye, seconded by his trusty ex-burglar assistant Crackerjack and his eccentric friend Inspector Crouton (as well as the invaluable Miss Midge). Fantagraphics first Gil Jordan book combines two of Gils finest yarns in one splendid hardcover. In "Murder by High Tide," Gil and his associates are hired to investigate the suspicious disappearance (death?) of an antiques dealer, while in "Leap of Faith" they get involved in trying to protect an attorney from Joe the Needle, a mysteriously escaped convict with apparent superhuman powers who has sworn vengeance.
