Torpedo Volume 2

The continuing adventures of Luca Torelli, a cold-hearted gangster in the 1930s, and those in his merciless orbit. Abuli portrays the characters with humor and poignancy, and Jimmy Palmiotti’s translations provide a true sense of New York in the 1930s. Jordi Bernet’s art, of course, is lovely, but Torpedo is Bernet’s masterpiece — the closest the graphic novel medium has ever come to The Godfather.
