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.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. The continued adventures of Luca Torelli, a cold-hearted gangster in the 1930s, and those in his merciless orbit.

Jordi Bernet's art, of course, is lovely, but Torpedo is Bernet's masterpiece-the closest the graphic novel medium has ever come to The Godfather. Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 160 pages, BW. Mature Readers Cover price $24.99.
