Warren Pleece

Read at Nora's urging. Pretty good, especially compared to most mainstream comics, but way too gory for me. There's one scene I still remember vividly almost nine years on, and it's not a good thing. (Rating is personal, not a reflection of how much literary merit I think it has.)

Story of a very pale black man, who can pass as white, investigating lynchings of black people in the South. It's readable enough, but didn't quite work for me. I felt like, as it stood, it wouldn't have been greenlit in any other medium (perhaps radio play), and just could have used a bit more polish on the script. As it was, I found it a bit annoying.
