Mr. Murder Is Dead is a Noir comic book "seires" cum graphic novel that is a mash up of Dick Tracy and Darwyn Cooke's Parker adaptations.  It is a very nicely produced, ±100-page, full color, debossed hardcover volume that employs the horizontal format to match the Dick Tracy Sunday strip knock-offs that are interspersed throughout, making for a two-tiered narrative structure.  We'd say it falls under the category of "nice try."  Doesn't quite gel, but nic package.  Sound up your allely?  We're offering the three copies that turned up in the archives at a SUPER SPECIAL SALE PRICE if you're in the mood for some diversion and/or feel like taking a chance on some cheap entertainment.
