A brand new graphic novel by award-winning artist, author, director, and playwright, Cynthia von Buhler! Back in the detective saddle, the fabulous, rabbit-loving Minky Woodcock straps on her gumshoes and uncovers a disturbing case involving the mysterious inventor Nikola Tesla. Hired by business tycoon J.P. Morgan Jr., Minky sets out to investigate the validity of claims that the eccentric Tesla has created a Death Ray machine. But things take a turn when Minky befriends the gentle recluse and uncovers a plot involving Nazis who are also interested in the fabled weapon. As twists and turns abound, the sassy detective is once again on the hunt for the truth against a backdrop of a tense and exciting 1940s America.… (altro)
I enjoyed this racy little graphic novel that features foxy P.I. Minky Woodcock and a cast of historic characters including Nicola Tesla and our former (thank goodness) president's uncle Dr. John Trump, who apparently actually worked for J. Edgar Hoover during WW2. ( )
The story has a certain energy to it, but is just too loopy and loosey-goosey for my taste. I was a bit thrown that this does not seem to be in strict continuity with the first story, picking up here in 1943 as if that 1926 adventure occurred just yesterday for the main characters.
The art is fun in its fan service manner, but a making-of feature in the back about the intense photo referencing involved in creating it helps explain its stiff quality.
If a third series is made and I review it, no matter how I try to justify it at the time, know in your heart that I just showed up to look at the sexy pictures. ( )

This book is dedicated to my father, Louis Carrozza, a former electrical engineer at General Electric, who taught me how one could possibly circumvent death by electrocution with a copper necklace and rubber boots. Thank you: Pearls Daily (for being my muse), Russell Farhang (for feeding me), PJ Mead (for feeding my models), Emilia Mia (for feeding the New York City pigeons), and all my models (for putting up with my crazy antics). - Cynthia von Buhler
