Two hardboiled crime graphic novels (one of which has never before been collected in English!) plus bonus material — in a luxurious oversize format. In  \u003cem\u003eLike a Sniper Lining Up His Shot\u003c\/em\u003e, the \"last job\" of a killer-for-hire who finds himself on the run from the authorities, his treacherous ex-clients, and a crime syndicate seeking revenge. In \u003cem\u003eRun Like Crazy, Run Like Hell\u003c\/em\u003e, the story of a scam gone horribly, blood-spatteringly wrong.\n\nTardi doesn't shy from the frequently grisly goings-on, and his style infuses Manchette's dark stories with a seething, malevolent energy while maintaining the mordant wit that characterizes his best work. These are the kinds of graphic novels that Quentin Tarantino would love — they're like a double shot of Scotch for any fan of unrelenting, uncompromising crime fiction.\n\n\u003cem\u003eLike a Sniper Lining Up His Shot\u003c\/em\u003e — Like many of the greatest noir thrillers, it all begins with a classic set-up: Martin Terrier, killer-for-hire, needs just one more big job so that he can turn in his guns for good and return home to marry his childhood sweetheart. But nothing goes as planned. His \"last job\" turns out to be a trap that results in a bloody shoot-out from which Terrier barely escapes with his life. Soon, he's on the run — from the authorities, from his treacherous ex-clients, and from a crime syndicate seeking revenge for an earlier hit.\n\n\u003cem\u003eRun Like Crazy, Run Like Hell\u003c\/em\u003e — Philanthropist Michael Hartog hires Julie, just out of a psychiatric asylum, as a nanny. But his apparent act of kindness hides a dark motive: he plans to fake the kidnapping of his son, Peter — and frame Julie for it. But Julie is no pushover, and the scam goes horribly, blood-spatteringly wrong. Suddenly, Julie and Peter are on the run, pursued by the police — and by Hartog's enforcer, the hulking contract killer.\n\nBeneath its breathtaking pace, stylized violence, and pitch-black humor, \u003cem\u003eRun Like Crazy, Run Like Hell\u003c\/em\u003e pulses with a strong current of socio-political satire. It's a roller-coaster ride to hell — and a devilishly fun way to get there!\n\nMature Readers.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.
