\\n

TORPEDO VOLUME 1\\n
Writer: Enrique Sanchez Abuli\\n
Translation: JImmy Palmiotti\\n
Artist: Alex Toth and Jordi Bernet\\n
Publisher: IDW Publishing\\n
The story of a gangster whose life is traced from the innocence of childhood to amoral adulthood, and nearly every stop explored along the way. Abuli\'s distinctive narrative builds the story over time and Jordi Bernet\'s masterful renditions of the title character are stunningly cinematic-Torpedo is the Godfather of comics, in both subject matter and execution.\\n
