Within Arctic Nations, the authors have used the anthropomorphic to accentuate how useless the whole ideal of "the pure rac. the best graphic novel of 04---really! A Customer I loved Blacksad #1 , but #2 blew me a away with its anthropomorphic characters, plot about a white racist group and plain old drawing skill. If you liked 100 Bullets, if you dig '40s noir and Jim Lee's Batman, I highly recommend Blacksad #2.
