(W) Ed Brubaker
(A/CA) Sean Phillips, Elizabeth Breitweiser

The first project from their groundbreaking five-year deal at Image will have Brubaker and Phillips fans, old and new, at the edge of their seats, as they weave an epic crime story unlike anything they've done before. Hollywood - 1948. A noir film stuck in endless reshoots. A writer plagued with nightmares from the war and a dangerous secret. An up-and-coming starlet's suspicious death. And a maniacal Studio Mogul and his Security Chief who will do anything to keep the cameras rolling before the Post-War boom days come crashing down. THE FADE OUT is the most ambitious series yet from the award-winning Noir Masters. Bonus: This 40-PAGE FIRST ISSUE features more story pages, as well as exclusive back pages articles that are only in these single issues!

Reviews


Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips want to do their take on 40's Hollywood noir,, McCarthyism, racial tension, w/ a dash of The Player thrown in for good measure? Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!! If you have any love for seeing 'the good old days' presented w/out filters or flim flam, this is the book you've been waiting for w/out knowing you were waiting. Philips art is rich w/ heavy blacks and long shadows, Brubaker's dialogue is rich with disdain and discovery. It all mixes together into a perfect cocktail of clarity and conscience...bam! Grab a shot of Maker's Mark, a comfortable seat, and pick up the book Sin City was trying to be. It might not be as 'hard', but it sure as h*!! is tougher. Highly recommended.
