A high-octane, neo-noir thrill ride by renowned comic artist Ricardo Delgado
Like dark and gritty sci-fi in the style of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, then you need to try Warhead by Ricardo Delgado. By the way, there are no humans in this novel from Reliquary Press. It features nearly everything I could have been looking for, but sometimes Delgado's prose turns just a little too violet-tinged for my tastes.
