Book Overview
On January 15, 1947, a woman walking with her daughter in a Los Angeles neighborhood passed what looked to be a discarded mannequin. It turned out to be the body of Elizabeth Short: posed, drained of blood, meticulously scrubbed, and cut in two. From this point, Geary reconstitutes and reveals for us the life of this 22-year-old woman who had become known as "Black Dahlia" because of her striking appearance. How could her life have ended in such a ghastly fashion? Was it a jealous boyfriend, a rejected suitor, or one of LA's notorious mafia members, with whom she had been connected? The case gets more complex when, days later, a local newspaper receives a cut-out letter from an anonymous "Black Dahlia Avenger" admitting to the crime.

Another great graphic novel from Rick Geary! True crime at its easy reading best. This graphic novel is based on the blockbuster case of early 20th Century. A must read for true crime fans and presents a great introduction to the graphic novel format.
This famous whodunit is brought to life and given the graphic novel once over. The images are crisp and sources are cited.
