This rollicking vampire-filled heist story will keep you guessing until the very end. Stephan Franck's critically acclaimed graphic novel series is a rip-roaring romp that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s, this genre-bending tale combines gothic horror with high-stakes action. Bill Sienkiewicz, the legendary Eisner Award winner, says: "Silver is so big, bold, and juicy! I absolutely love this book!" Master thief James Finnigan is desperate to recover his gang's lost fortune. His only lead? A cryptic notebook and a bar of pure silver hinting at the legendary Silver Dragon, an immeasurable treasure hidden in a vampire-infested castle. To pull off the heist of the millennium, Finnigan assembles a ragtag crew of misfits, including a vampire hunter, a washed-up actor, and a clairvoyant child. With its sharp, black-and-white art and whip-smart humor, Silver is perfect for fans of Bram Stoker's Dracula and Ocean's Eleven--a must-read for anyone who loves a good adventure filled with twists, turns, and supernatural thrills.
