A Silent Hell by Juan Díaz Canales

Blacksad is a black cat who quite frankly, seems to be the cat version of Idris Elba. Honesty, I want Elba to do the voice of Blacksad in a animated feature. Please!
Like the first volume (or first tranlsated collection to be extact), this installment does touch on race. While I am not entirely sure if the whole plot is historically based, there has been a history of cancer areas in poor and black sections of New Orleans as well as the lead poisioning that occured after Katrina.
Using animals to examine the issues as well as conveay a plot about a missing jazz musican is wonderfully done and harkens back to Maus.
Blacksad is part gumshoe as well.
This edition contains two short stories at the end, and the one about war is particularly powerful.
