Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe: The Graphic Novel

This book is a homage to the greatest detective story writer of the 20th century an Anglo-American who took Los Angeles his adopted home off the road maps and into the land of legend. For Raymond Chandler who died in 1959 his literary descendants will do just about anything and that includes contributing to an anthology honoring him. Thus in here we find the likes of Sara Paretsky Robert Crais Loren D. Estleman Jonathan Valin Robert Campbell Eric Van Lustbader Simon Brett Julie Smith Jeremiah Healy Roger L. Simon James Grady and numerous others creating stories in the style of Chandler and in the voice of Marlowe. But as editor Byron Preiss remarks The contributors of this book are here to honor Chandler not to steal from him.
