New Release Notes 3/29/22: Secret Identity by Alex Segura

Michael Chabon’s Kavalier & Clay + Patricia Highsmith’s Mister Ripley = this stunning new book. Segura’s time in the comic book industry paints the beginning of a struggling fictional comic book company in the 1970’s with grace and insight, and his love for hard-boiled crime fiction makes the book a delight to read, with twists and turns that make every page turn blindingly fast. When a new artist who’s doing her best to make it in the male-dominated world of comics finds a colleague dead, it’s a tantalizing whodunit, a tangled web of secrets and resentments among the passionate eccentrics who write comics for a living.
