El Borbah

Charles Burns

Meet El Borbah, a four hundred pound private eye who wears Mexican wrestlers tights and an eerie mask. Subsisting entirely on junk food and beer, El Borbah conducts his investigations with tough talk and a short temper. He smashes through doors and skulls as he stalks a perfectly realised film-noir city filled with punks, geeks, business suited creeps and other would be heroes. This is the first of a collectors series of hardcover titles in five volumes reprinting acclaimed cartoonist Burns' ouvre up to his current magnum opus, the ongoing BLACK HOLE.
