Definitely not as good as I thought it would be. You may as well go a bit further and read Sin City.
Chaykin's style is certainly suited to the material, with sex, violence noir, dames, tough guys and all that sort of thing. With strippers, of course, but this did not quite hit the mark for me.
 a twisted tale that changed my outlook on graphic novels May 21, 2007

I have a hardbound edition of this. This novel is pretty raw compared to his later works (especially American Century). I will concede that it is a little rough around the edges but you have to appreciate the beauty of a noir story line that go in a direction that you least expect. You simply have no idea where the story is taking until the very end--which is horribly wicked and pretty funny.

Howard Chaykin does some nice stylized comic book illustrations. But also kinda conservative in composition and layout.
Black Kiss is a sloppy Noir mess. The plot is not quite there. THe story doesnt add up. The action and sex arent up to par (in the story or on the page). The scenes arent well developed and are under utilized. THeres not much to get excited about.
so I cant recommend this book.

I ordered this based on Amazon's recommendation before I noticed the publisher was Eros. Seeing how Amazon recommended I assumed that it would be a pretty good film noir in comics and it wasn't.
Howard Chaykin at his perverse best!! June 10, 2006

Howard Chaykin is one of the great writers/illustrators of our time that makes no bones about emphasizing graphic sex and ultra-violence. The story, about a ex-con jazz musician framed for the murder of his ex-wife and daughter who gets involved with these two... I can't. It's too much. It's so wonderfully over-the-top that you can't resist it. This comic has a little something offensive for everyone: gender-bending, incest, gang-rape, necrophilia, pedophilia, and that old classic: Satanic worship. It basically has every form of "deviant" sex that you could imagine, but Chaykin plays it so twisted and matter-of-fact, that you can tell that this is NOT to be taken seriously.
It is also REALLY NOT for kids. But grown-ups who enjoy a little bit of the dark side will be wholly sucked into this series of bloody and sexual misadventures.
