Rick Geary has illustrated many famous unsolved true crime stories as supercool black-and-white graphic novels. His minimal clean lines and hand-drawn textures showing multiple points of view, from personal accounts to maps of crime scenes, make a great style for sequential bits of evidence laid out like a movie. These are excellent introductions to many famous mysteries, and Cravan was a new and fun one for me. Arthur Cravan was a forger, thief, writer, painter, boxer, and political radical whose various identities, life on the run, and disappearance make for an exciting reading adventure. All of Geary's books explore the cases with a huge amount of research presented in distinct detail.
