Noted crime-novelist/comic
writer Gary Phillips (Shotcallerz, Midnite Mover)
and artist Shawn Martinbrough (THE LOSERS, DETECTIVE COMICS) deliver
ANGELTOWN, a gritty 5-issue mystery set in the sun-drenched mean
streets and shadowed suites of Los Angeles. Angeltown #1
is a special 40-page issue at no extra cost!
Meet Nate Hollis
— a Los Angeles-based private eye who’s cool as a frozen cucumber
and tougher than a box of nails. He’s just landed the biggest —
and possibly the last — case of his career.
When a pro
basketball star — L.A.s #1 baller — mysteriously disappears after
his wife is found brutally murdered, it’s up to Hollis to find him
and either bring him to justice or prove his innocence. However,
the smooth-talking P.I. soon learns he’s not the only one looking
for the infamous hoopster, and must navigate between a crooked District
Attorney, a ruthless and resourceful gangster, and a deadly-but-beautiful
bounty hunter.
In between
dishing out beat-downs and juggling two amorous career women, the
ghosts of Hollis’s past begin to surface. Will Hollis find the missing
baller before his deadly competitors do? And will clues from this
case reveal leads to his lifelong mission — to find his father’s
murderer?
