nigellicus 's review for:
Velvet, Vol. 1: Before the Living End
by Ed Brubaker
Altogether more sophisticated spy comic, seventies-set, hearkening to the style of the paranoid cynicism of the era. Velvet's a secretary to the Director, but she's also a retired spy in her own right, and when one operative is murdered and she's put in the frame as a mole, she goes on the run, following a thread into the past to discover who set her up. Action and intrigue, secrets and lies, moody art and hard-boiled storytelling makes this a perfect noir espionage thriller. Espionoir.
