This is my blog where I write about music, jewelry, and myself. Vaudeville, burlesque, blues, jazz, songs about baltimore, novelties, and whatever else I feel like posting.

West Coast Blues
Jean-Patrick Manchette & Jacques Tardi

This came out last fall. I really liked it. I didn't realize how much until I finished the whole thing. There are two others in the Fantagraphics Tardi series, so far.. I'm excited to get them.
West Coast Blues was the story of some guy who witnessed a murder and then the events that ensued. The main dude is sort of one of those characters that seems real aloof and like.. things just happen to him.
I don't have any more description and review because there are already reviews all over but I just wanted to chime in that I enjoyed this.
