Murder by High Tide: Gil Jordan, Private Detective (Gil Jordan)

A duo of detective comedy-thrillers from the Howard Hawks of comics.
Another never-before-translated classic from the Golden Age of Franco-Belgian comics, finally brought to American readers. Imagine the beautifully crisp images of HergÃ© (Tintin) put in service of a series of wise-cracking, fast-paced detective stories â€• punctuated with scenes of spectacular vehicular mayhem (including in this volume a dockside pursuit via car and bulldozer) â€• and youâ€™ll see why 50 years later Gil Jordan is still considered a masterpiece in Europe.

Gil Jordan is a nattily-dressed but tough-as-nails private eye, seconded by his trusty ex-burglar assistant Crackerjack and his eccentric friend Inspector Crouton (as well as the invaluable Miss Midge).

Fantagraphicsâ€™ first Gil Jordan book combines two of Gilâ€™s finest yarns in one splendid hardcover. In â€œMurder by High Tide,â€ Gil and his associates are hired to investigate the suspicious disappearance (death?) of an antiques dealer, while in â€œLeap of Faithâ€ they get involved in trying to protect an attorney from Joe the Needle, a mysteriously escaped convict with apparent superhuman powers who has sworn vengeance. 96 pages of color comics
