P.I. Jane: The Salad Days ISBN: 163529875X OCLC: Caliber Comics 2019 Jane Day's a twenty-something temp-by-day, detective-by-night…and also sometimes during the day (don’t tell Chad). Jane straddles two worlds: Reality - in boring grayscale - and her Imagination - in full, vibrant color. Jane uses the fantasy to cut through the tedium, living as much inside her head as out. Her wheelhouse is the weird. Not necessarily the macabre, but just the...strange. Collecting the first two volumes, several years of the P.I. Jane webcomic, into a mightly voltron of pop culture references and pro-am investigation, The Salad Days takes you for a ride-along on such cases as bootlegger minors, fun at the roller derby, a trip to River Heights to get her Nancy Drew on, plus visits from favorites Pie and Cake. All the bonus stuff from volumes one and two are here - commentary, pencils 'n inks, pop culture glossariers, character design, Pie v. Cake a-plenty, guest contributors and more! So re-meet Jane Day...again...for the first time with The Salad Days. |
