Fishtown, by Kevin Colden
Categorized in: 52 Books/52 Weeks
Based on the true story about teenagers who murdered a friend in working-class Philadelphia in 2003. A remarkable debut ? tautly written, drawn with technical excellence and depth, and showing a deep grasp of illustrating character through small strokes of language and art. It achieves something truly unusual in comics: being truly disturbing.
