Inhaltsangabe

The murder ballad has been a cornerstone of the American folk repertoire for decades, telling the raw stories, sometimes even true, of unrequited love, betrayal, jealousy, and, as advertised, death. Dutch cartoonist Erik Kriek was inspired by five old and new murder ballads and used them as a jumping-off point for five special and ruthless graphic narratives that dig deep into the darkness of Americana.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Kriek's inky drawings fit the dark tone of these harsh tales of homicides, self-defense killings, and unjust executions. In no cases do Kriek's variants displace the song, but they possess their own moody emotional power.

Reseña del editor:

A collection of murder ballads ― some of which have been covered by modern masters like Nick Cave, Steve Earle, and Gillian Welch ― that have been adapted into ruthless graphic narratives.
