This was outlined as a longer series, notes the author why the publisher dropped it is a mystery. Bonus materials include a revealing afterword by Brubaker, side-by-side pages showing how the pencils became inked, and “Gods and Sinners,” an earlier Herriman story from Vertigo: Winter’s Edge, v.2 (1999). But otherwise this is wonderful stuff, an atmospheric and darkly twisted tale that inverts some clichés (the PI is a scruffy, young former addict) while tipping the fedora to others (his uncle is a crime-scene photographer like Weegee). Some growing pains are evident, most noticeably in the ridiculously wordy word balloons. The trail leads him into the past, to a sex cult founded long after the Summer of Love. But the next morning, she’s dead, and a stricken Herriman is determined to find out why. San Francisco PI Jack Herriman finds a woman’s missing sister and reports back that she’s OK. Brubaker’s scripts are a big deal nowadays, and he has a handful of Eisners to prove it, but this deluxe edition of a four-issue miniseries (first published by Vertigo in 1999) shows how he made his mark-and marks the first of many fine collaborations with penciller Lark and inker Phillips.
