Fogtown

Written by ANDERSEN GABRYCH • Art by BRAD RADER • Cover by LEE BERMEJO New from Vertigo Crime!

Frank Grissel is a hard-knuckled private eye — and a deeply closeted homosexual — set in the very real world of 1953 San Francisco.

Aided by his long-suffering secretary (and sometime live-in lover) Loretta, Grissel’s search for a runaway girl winds up with his becoming a suspect in a string of gruesome murders.

The case takes twists and turns through the Golden Gate’s greasy underbelly: the beguiling arms of a Chinese shipping heiress (and smuggler); an unexpected reunion with the daughter he abandoned long ago; the loss of Loretta to the sadistic clutches of the high-powered “Colonel”; and finally to the horrifying, gender-bending truth.
