The wait for the end of Stephen Franck’s Palomino is finally over, as Palomino Volume 6, bringing the award-winning graphic novel series to a close, is now on Kickstarter. And we’ve got an exclusive look at the book.
“At first glance, PALOMINO may feel like a departure from my previous series – the vampire heist saga Silver – but the common thread, as in everything I do, is noir.” Franck adds, “Silver was a pulp noir adventure, and PALOMINO is a neo-noir crime mystery drama, but noir is noir. It’s about people who might be driven by an obsession or by an inconvenient sense of justice, and their inability to let things go, no matter the cost. Most importantly, both series are about family. Families by choice, or families by birth struggling to survive. It’s about that bond that, once given, can’t be taken back. It’s about resistance. Not. Letting. Things. Go.”

Palomino Volume 6 Official Synopsis:
A captivating neo-noir crime mystery, PALOMINO begins in 1981 Los Angeles, where readers meet EDDIE LANG, an old-school, hardboiled former Burbank PD detective juggling his 6-nights-a-week gig in the Palomino house band, his P.I. business, and his teenage daughter, Liz–who might even be more hardboiled than he is! Father and daughter share a killer sense of humor and an unbreakable bond, but tragedy looms large over their past. A brand new case that’s hitting a little too close to home upends their lives, sending them each down very dangerous paths. Ultimately, the unsolved mystery haunts LIz into adulthood. In 1995, she’s working as a reporter when a routine assignment opens old wounds and Liz embarks on one final odyssey, where every secret will be revealed and all scores settled. To survive the night, Liz must confront the ghosts of her past and, maybe – just maybe – emerge on the other side reborn and free.
