A captivating neo-noir crime mystery, Palomino begins in 1981 Los Angeles, where we meet EDDIE LANG, an old-school, hardboiled former Burbank PD detective juggling his 6-nights-a-week gig in the Palomino house band, his P.I. business, and his teenage daughter--who might even be more hardboiled than he is!
Father and daughter share a killer sense of humor and an unbreakable bond, but tragedy looms large over their past. A brand new case that's hitting a little too close to home upends their lives, sending them each down very dangerous paths.

“A fantastic comic! Highly recommended." —Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Black Hammer)
“I smelled the Jasmine in the air, that's how powerful Stephan Franck’s Palomino was to me. I was there... in Los Angeles ...alongside characters that felt like I knew my entire lifetime. What a great f*****g ride.” –Jimmy Palmiotti (Harley Quinn; Starfire; Painkiller Jane)
“Palomino sits alongside Sin City, Stray Bullets and other hard-boiled classics while singing with an original, uniquely authentic voice. Lived-in, brutal, mature...this is comic book noir at its best.” –Zeb Wells (Amazing Spiderman, Hellions, Robot Chicken)
“Well hot damn. To quote the great Bob Wills, the King of Western Swing, ‘AHAHH!!’ What makes a great and engaging narrative for me is frequently the synergy of character and place, of mise en scene…and to be blunt, Stephan Franck, in his new book, PALOMINO, delivers on those fronts in spades. His people, populating a beautifully depicted, too rarely examined piece of real estate in 1980s Los Angeles, are familiar and real, without ever becoming archetypes. To be clear, it’s been at least a decade since I’ve taken such unalloyed pleasure in reading a comic book. Trust me on this.” —Howard Chaykin, legendary creator of American Flagg
“Franck’s latest neo-noir graphic-novel PALOMINO reads like a free-flowing gust of pure creativity, all the while unfolding with implacable structure.”—Elsa Charretier, artist of November, Harley Quinn
