13 Shots of Whiskey #2: Burnt Ends by Markus Pattern Digital

The small town of St
Giles is bedeviled by the Burnt Ends killer, but is he responsible for the
death of Roxy Jackson? It’s up to Sylvester Bloom to find the truth in this
hard boiled detective Neo Noir. Set at the tail end of the 1950’s, in a prim
and proper town,  where everyone is a liar, Sylvester is hired to catch
Melody Malleck in a divoorce worthy act of infidelity. Melody, not seeing why
she should get divorced because her husband is paranoid, makes a deal with
Sylvester, and sends him after a bigger scandal, Mayor Dr. David Rickenbacker.
Much to the chagrin of Detective Neige, Sylvester’s cousin. A terrible accident
and a grotesque cover up sends Sylvester looking for the truth that he knows
but can’t prove and eventually after the serial killer that ravages the state
of California. 

For fans of Blacksad,
those Noir Marvel comics, You should have Killed Me, pre DK2 Frank Miller, Ed
Brubaker and Sean Phillips, Michael Brian Bendis, Brick,  and Kiss Kiss,
Bang Bang. 

Full of sleaze, sex and
gore, Burnt Ends is the 2nd issue of 13 Shots of Whiskey, my self-published
anthology series in which I explore my favorite genres. A series of one-shots,
I basically want to see if I can create a comic, soup to nuts in 7 weeks, like
what Jim Rugg did with Octobriana, and then keep going, like Dave Lapham in
Stray Bullets (though without the connective tissue)
