Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe

Elegantly designed and packaged in a mix of full color and black and white comics, this trio of graphic novels includes Chandler's classic final Marlowe adventure, "The Pencil," adapted from the Raymond Chandler story by award-winning mystery novelist Jerome Charyn and Marvel/DC comics illustrator David Lloyd; "Goldfish," adapted by top British designer Ryan Hughes and "Trouble is My Business" illustrated by Lee Moyer, Alfredo Alcala in a style reminiscent of 30s illustrator J.C. Leyendecker. None of this work has ever been published before and represents the first adaptations of these Chandler stories into comics.

In this series of stories, we not only present Chandler's characters to a new generation, but to a new medium as well. There have been several portrayals of Marlowe in films over the years: Bogart, Powell, Mitchum, and others. And now we'll see some new interpretations of him. Each stylistically different, but all unmistakably Marlowe.
