YA
Stone Man Mysteries series.
Illustrated by
Orion Zangara.
When young Scottish lad Craig contemplates suicide, he's talked out of it by Silex, a gargoyle who runs a detective agency. Silex convinces Craig to join him in solving a series of baffling murders. Craig and his plight provide stark realism to an otherwise fantastical story. The graphic novel's black-and-white illustrations are dark and moody, which matches the gloomy setting.
