Of Treasures and Thieves (Graphic Novel)

- Blurb -

A rollicking vampire-filled graphic novel heist that will keep you guessing until the very end for fans of Bram Stoker' s Dracula and Ocean' s Eleven from award-nominated animator and comic book creator Stephan FranckThere are only two kinds of objects in this world. The ones that shine and the ones that don' t. Silver' s protagonist, James Finnigan, only concerns himself with objects from the first category. Those objects don' t hide in plain sight. They hide in dark places. When Finnigan loses his grifter gang' s lifetime fortune in a heist gone wrong, he stumbles on a consolation prize in the crypt of the Harker Foundation-a notebook that tells of an ancient, immeasurable treasure, accompanied by a bar of pure silver to prove it. It' s a tall tale but also Finnigan' s only lead. In an effort to make up for what he' s lost, he mounts the heist of the millennium in search of the Silver Dragon. Just one catch: The famed treasure is said to be hidden in a castle full of vampires. Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s, award-nominated animator Stephan Franck' s Silver is a rip-roaring, genre-bending graphic novel that draws on the best of gothic horror and heist tropes to tell a story that is pure adventure. Silver offers the captivating dynamics of an ensemble cast of misfits, while inviting us to accept that Bram Stoker' s Dracula was a tale of fact, not fiction. The result is a smart, innovative story complete with world-class visuals and sharply-drawn characters that' s equal parts action, humor, and heart.
