Loeb calls Narwain's 'Free Fall' "Compelling…Noir"
November 8, 2005 – This month Narwain is pleased to launch its first
titles onto the U.S. market. Topping the list of eclectic, high-quality
books is the modern noir story, "Free Fall", a crime thriller that comic
creator and TV producer Jeph Loeb calls a "vortex of danger and the
unexpected."
Written by Gianluca Piredda with art by Eric J and Jimmy Palmiotti and colors by David Bryant, "Free Fall" details the account of a band of thieves circling an impossible target and their innovative but morbid scheme for pulling off the most dangerous bank heist.
Loeb is well known to comic fans as the writer of "Batman: Hush" and "The Long Halloween" (among many others), and to TV fans as a producer on "Smallville." On top of that he'll soon to be joining the crew of the mega-hit series "Lost." Still, he was passionate enough about "Free Fall" to provide an introduction for the book.
The story, according to Loeb is bred from the swamp of a new, 21^st
century noir.
"Gianluca Piredda's passion for [noir] stories may have been born out of
his Italian heritage, but in 'Free Fall' he demonstrates an
understanding of world -- and some would say American -- present day
thinking," writes Loeb.
"Free Fall" #1 features stunning cover art by Jay Anacleto and Brian
Haberlin. It is the first of a three issue mini series, due in comic
shops this month. The book is 32 full color pages with a cover price of
$3.99.
