| Summary: | The first paperback edition from the acclaimed Charles Burns library, collecting the noir-ish adventures of a 400 pound private eye who wears a Mexican wrestler's tights and an eerie mask. Subsisting entirely on junk food and beer, El Borbah conducts his investigations with tough talk and a short temper, smashing through doors and skulls as he stalks a perfectly realised film-noir city filled with punks, geeks business-suited creeps and mad scientists. |
