Un ex policía caído en desgracia, Conrad, busca la redención al desentrañar un asesinato sin resolver durante la temporada de incendios del sur de California.

La búsqueda lo lleva a chocar con el padre de la víctima y principal sospechoso, Robert Littleton, así como con antiguos colegas hostiles de la policía local. Mientras tanto, Conrad combate su alcoholismo y sus facultades debilitadas.

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (August 3, 2023)—Fire and murder blaze across the deserts of Southern California in Blacking Out, coming soon from Dark Horse Books. Originally funded on Kickstarter, this noir crime adventure will be published for the first time as a hardcover graphic novel. From the minds of comics industry veteran and writer Chip Mosher (Left On Mission) and legendary artist Peter Krause (The Power of Shazam!, Irredeemable), with colors by Giulia Brusco (Scalped, Django Unchained), letters by Ed Dukeshire (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and logo by Tom Muller (Mazebook) comes this new dark thriller.   A disgraced ex-cop, Conrad, seeks redemption by unraveling an unsolved murder during Southern California's fire season. Conrad follows a lone clue—a discarded crucifix—to unravel the death of Karen Littleton, whose body was found amid a blaze that scorched 10,000 acres. The search leads him to clash with the victim's father and prime suspect, Robert Littleton, as well as hostile former colleagues on the local police force. All the while, Conrad combats his consuming alcoholism and fading faculties.    Will his “questionable” methods net him a murderer, or will the grizzled detective be brought to his knees by heartbreak and addiction?
