Stiletto: L IS FOR LIES

Cops hear lies all day long. It's like the norm to try and pull one over on the police.
Maynard and Alphonse are looking for the truth. But who can you trust, when you lie to yourself?

Stiletto: K IS FOR KIM FUPZ AAKESON

This is strictly for the Danes. But here's what writer/screenwriter Kim Fupz Aakeson said about Stiletto for the back cover:

"Palle Schmidt kan fortælle en historie, twiste, vinkle, overraske og tegne røven ud af bukserne på sine anløbne karakterer. Palle Schmidt er noir, cool og kuldslået. Der er serveret ..."
Kim Fupz Aakeson

For non-Danish speakers: He says I'm awesome. And HE'S awesome, so he knows what awesome looks like. Nuff said.

Breaking news: EXLUSIVE PROMO FOR THOMAS ALSOP: THE HAND OF THE ISLAND

My friend and collaborater Chris Miskiewicz has pulled a stunt: A two-minute live promo trailer for our graphic novel project about supernatural detective Thomas Alsop aka The Hand of the Island with actor Paul Bosche in the starring role. Check it out below and feel free to share the hell out of it!

I'm extremely thankful to be involved in this project. Hope I can do it justice.

Stiletto: J IS FOR JIMENEZ

Actually it's pronounced Himenez, but...

Jimenez is the arcehtypical grumpy boss you've seen in a thousand movies. He should be an ally, but is more like a threat. Like all of the police officers in STILETTO, he looks like he stepped out of a 70's movie.

Stiletto: I IS FOR INTERNAL AFFAIRS

Maynard and Alphonse have hellhounds on their trail, in the shape of agents Kaplan and Khoury. I call them "Internal Division", the agency set to sniff out dirty cops within the department. But can they be trusted?

Stiletto: H IS FOR HOMAGE

I pay homage to a lot of 60's and 70's crime movies in STILETTO, most notably Bullit. Here is one of the more noticeable spots.

Stiletto: G IS FOR GIALLO

The name of this character says a lot about his nature. Based on the Italian version of the noir genre, "Giallo" means "yellow" or "false". Yellow is also one of the more prominent colors in the book.

As you can tell from this sequence, Giallo doesn't have a sense of humor. Can you trust a guy like that?
