Step into the dark, rain-soaked streets of a 1940s New York City gripped by a terrifying mystery in Black of Heart. Written and illustrated by the talented Charlton Hollenbach, this gritty, noir-inspired graphic novel is a masterclass in suspense and atmospheric storytelling. Originally a successful crowdfunded project, this trade paperback is now available for fans of psychological thrillers and classic detective fiction.

This item is Brand New, making it a pristine choice for collectors of indie comics, noir enthusiasts, and those who appreciate high-contrast, moody artwork.

A Brutal Mystery in the Big Apple

  • The Story: Set in 1949, the city is being terrorized by a ruthless serial killer known as "The Vulture," who leaves a trail of grisly crime scenes across Manhattan. Enter Drake Hall, a haunted detective who must navigate his own inner demons while hunting a monster who seems to be one step ahead of the law.

  • Masterful Noir Aesthetic: Hollenbach’s art is the heart of the book, utilizing a stark, high-contrast black-and-white style reminiscent of classic noir films and the work of legends like Frank Miller. Every shadow hides a secret, and every panel drips with mid-century grit.

  • Psychological Depth: Beyond the police procedural, Black of Heart explores themes of obsession, trauma, and the thin line between justice and vengeance.

  • Indie Success Story: This collection brings together the complete, hard-hitting narrative that captivated readers during its initial run, offering a complete and satisfying mystery in one volume.

Tropical Fringe Fun for My Summer Outfits
Color: Natural, Color: Natural
I am absolutely obsessed with this straw purse because it feels like a vacation in my hand. The first thing I noticed is how the raffia fringe has this playful half moon shape that looks like a little lion mane but in a very high fashion way. My daughter even joked that it looks like a giant fancy taco which makes it such a fun and unique piece to carry around. It is incredibly lightweight which is a huge relief because I do not want to carry a heavy bag when the weather is hot. Even though it looks compact on my mannequin, it is surprisingly roomy inside and fits my phone and all my daily essentials without feeling stuffed. The magnetic closure is quite strong so I do not have to worry about my things falling out while I am walking around a summer party or a night out. The neutral tan and cream colors in the fringe make it very easy to match with almost any outfit I own. I really appreciate the small metal brand patch on the front because it gives the bag a more polished and expensive look than a typical straw tote you might find at a souvenir shop. One thing to keep in mind is that the raffia is very textured so you should probably be careful with delicate silk fabrics so it does not snag. It feels very sturdy and well made for something that is woven from grass and I love how the fringe adds so much movement when I am moving around. This bag is definitely going to be my go to accessory for the rest of the season because it is both stylish and very practical for my needs.

👜 Effortless Spring-to-Summer Clutch That Feels One-of-a-Kind
Color: Natural
👜 Effortless Spring-to-Summer Clutch That Feels One-of-a-Kind I’ve been a longtime fan of Sam Edelman, especially because they actually make stylish pieces that work for real life. So when I saw this clutch, I had a feeling it would be good… but I didn’t expect it to hit *this* level. This bag is a vibe. The raffia texture and that half-moon fringe give it such a unique, standout look without trying too hard. It feels like the perfect piece to roll right into spring and carry straight through summer. Think beach days, dinners out, travel nights, all of it. What I love most is that it doesn’t look like everything else out there. It feels original, like you found something special instead of just grabbing another basic clutch. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and the magnetic closure keeps things simple and secure. It also pairs effortlessly with different outfits. You can dress it up or keep it casual and it still works. Now let’s be real, it’s a designer piece, so it’s not cheap. But for the style, quality, and uniqueness, I do think it delivers strong value for money. Five stars from me. This one’s coming with me everywhere this season ☀️

Super cute clutch!
Color: Natural
This is a beautiful clutch. I got the “Natural” color, and the tones are definitely subtle. I am already eyeing the Spicy one too, but for me, the natural color is just easier to match with outfits. I did laugh though because my nephew said it looks like a taco, but honestly that just makes me love it even more! The material is extremely nice, it feels very premium and well made. I was a bit nervous because I have had cheaper bags with that shredded-style material that flakes and falls apart, but that is not the case here. It feels really well made. I cannot speak for long-term durability yet, but so far there is no shedding or anything like that. I also did not notice any loose stitching or threads at all, it just feels like a high-quality bag. It has small magnets to keep it closed, which work nicely. There is not a ton of space since it is a clutch, but there is still enough room for my phone and a few small items, so it works well. Overall, it is just a really gorgeous, well made bag, and I really do not have anything to complain about.
