A review by ladilira
Spencer & Locke by David Pepose
5.0
Before you begin reading this collection of quality hardboiled fiction, set the tone with the low vibes of jazz noir. It will enhance your reading experience. With every page turn, I felt more and more pulled in with the help of YouTube.
I have an obsession with this style of crime detective fiction. It's edgy, dark, fatalistic and sexy. Pepose and fellow creators produced a gritty Calvin and Hobbes remix, starring a confident and brooding protagonist with a traumatic past. Even though Locke's sidekick is a stuffed animal come to life in his mind, Locke still oozes that cool and calm demeanor we love from our prohibition style crime fighters. However, I do have some questions about the psyche evaluation that clearly never happened for this detective.
I loved the style of this graphic novel. The artwork was fantastic and the writing fit perfectly. Spencer has some clever comebacks that also brought a giggle to my lips. I can't wait to see the next installments to come out in the spring.
If you have an interest in noir styled graphic novels then check Spencer & Locke out, you will not be disappointed.
