DESCRIPTION
Enrique Sanchez Abuli (w) • Jordi Bernet (a & c)The final volume in the Torpedo library delivers a gut shot of killer stories to the solar plexus. Luca Torelli, AKA the Torpedo, cuts a vicious swash of mayhem and murder through the criminal underbelly of 1930s Gotham. New York in those days was crammed full of diseased rodents, both the four and two-legged variety, and Luca was the exterminator!HC • B&W • 144 Pages • $24.99 • 8.5" x 11" ï‚· ISBN 978-1-61377-162-4TRANSCRIPT
This is the story of Luca Torelli, a poor immigrant from Italy who came to
New York to find a better life. Instead of a land of milk and honey he found
a filthy city that was long on corruption and short on morality, a place
filled with predators and human vermin. To survive in such a place,
young Luca adapted to his surroundings, lived off his wits, prospered
with coldhearted cunning… until he eventually became
Enrique Sánchez Abulí and Jordi Bernet’s masterpiece is a darkly
humorous exploration of the criminal underbelly in 1930s New York
City. Abuli's distinctive narrative builds the story over time and
Bernet's masterful renditions of the title character and the city
he inhabits are stunningly cinematic.
