HOMICIDE HC VOL 01

In 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Department's homicide unit. Over the next twelve months, he shadowed detectives as they took on a slew of killings in a city where killings were common. Only the most heinous cases stood out-chief amongst them, the rape and murder of eleven-year-old Latonya Wallace. Originally published in 1991, Simon's 'Homicide' became the basis for the acclaimed television show 'Homicide: Life on the Streets' and inspired HBO's 'The Wire'. Now, this true-crime classic is reenvisioned as a gritty two-part graphic novel series.
