Altho these don’t have the precision line work of LC art, I did find them pleasing in other ways.

For example, I liked the historical context --all those little details-- as well as the lush, varied and warm color schemes.

New York, 1950s. Josuah Harrison, a former member of the 101st Airborne and decorated with the prestigious Purple Heart, works as an investigator for a law firm. In fact, he mainly works for James Layton, the former commander of his company. Josuah is tasked with finding out who is blackmailing a real estate tycoon. Ronald Husler, a handsome self-made man in his forties, is in fact the victim of blackmail linked to his wife’s troubled past. --BDT

This excellent series is four tomes long, with “Raives” (Guy Servais) handling colors, but also collaborating with the writer Éric Warnauts upon the art, an unusual but fruitful arrangement, Belgian-style.

Book two is mainly set in Hawaii, and in my mind the above was a great little M*A*S*H tribute. :-)

The series distinctly reminded me of Fabien Nury’s fabulous “Silas Corey” and “Tyler Cross” works. The strong plots, stylish art, measured pace, frequent danger and historical context were things the series all had in common.
