Lodger

Description

Ricky Toledo was fifteen when she fell hard for a handsome drifter who rented a room in her family home. Then he killed her mother and got her father sent to prison for it. It's three years later, and Ricky will stop at nothing to get revenge. A broken young woman and her trusty companion--a gold Smith and Wesson 45 named Golddigger--track a serial killer hiding in plain sight as a travel blogger. It's a dark, grimy game of cat and mouse through a tangled American landscape. And like all the best crime noir, it's a twisted love story.

Eisner Award-winners DAVID and MARIA LAPHAM have been creating Stray Bullets since 1996. David has worked as a writer/artist for almost every mainstream and indie publisher in comics including Batman for DC Comics, Spider-man for Marvel, Silverfish and Young Liars for Vertigo, and numerous projects for Dark Horse, IDW, Valiant, and Image, his current publisher of Stray Bullets. David is illustrating and lettering Lodger and co-writing the series with his wife, Maria. The Laphams are regarded as the masters of crime noir comic books.

"David and Maria Lapham have written a cryptic, lurid, frightening story.... David Lapham's lush black and white art is pitch perfect for the story told. Soaked in sweat and flyblown. Tears, snot, and blood unable to soil the untouched snow of bare ink on page. Heartbreaking. Disquieting." --Doom Rocket
