BD Books: The Sheriff of Babylon, 2 Volumes, Tom King, Vertigo

Set price Books: The Sheriff of Babylon Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (2 volumes) Collection: Vertigo 25 Years Author: Tom King, Mitch Gerads Publisher: Levoir Weight: 1050 g Complete work in 2 volumes. Hardcover binding. Saddam Hussein is overthrown in 2003; Baghdad is now under American command. And no one is in control. Christopher Henry is a former police officer and now a contractor hired by the military—he knows this better than anyone. He is in the country to train the Iraqi police force, and one of his recruits has been murdered. With civil authority in shambles and bodies littering the streets, Chris is the only person truly interested in uncovering the perpetrator—and the motive behind the crime. Characters, narrative, and setting—these are the three pillars of The Sheriff of Babylon, executed with surgical precision. Everything contributes to building a vivid portrayal of what is unfolding. In a story where setting is so crucial, it’s no surprise that the artwork must be evocative. Mitch Gerads delivers outstanding work, crafting a desolate, dust-choked atmosphere that blends seamlessly with the cityscapes through restrained color palettes and simple panel layouts. Gerads’ art greatly enhances Tom King’s storytelling, demonstrating deep understanding of his characters’ languages and elevating the story’s action and pacing to a frenetic intensity.
