Westside: Volume 1 - Moody small-town crime drama

Two deputy sheriffs investigate a series of unsolved violent crimes in California’s Central Valley.

From the creative team that brought you ©alifornia, Inc., writer Justin Giampaoli (Rome West, Starship Down), illustrator Dave Law (The Space Odditorium, Wolf Punks), and Studio 12-7 publisher/variant cover artist Arthur N. Ebuen (Systemic, Disrupted Tales) bring you Westside: Volume 1. This 52-page crime drama witnesses the collision of race relations, car culture, and crime with authentic autobiographical elements in an elegy to Justin’s hometown. As a resident of Northern California and a fierce indie comics veteran, Dave is the perfect co-creator for this story, using bold black and white over dramatic ink washes to create atmosphere and depth.
 
Westside: Volume 1 is for fans of neo-noir like HBO’s The Wire, or the crime comics of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips; think True Detective meets California’s Central Valley.
