Blacksad (2000)
Blacksad is a 2000 anthropomorphic comic title by Juan Díaz Canales.
Blacksad is a noir comic series created by Spanish authors Juan Díaz Canales (writer) and Juanjo Guarnido (artist), and published by publisher Dargaud in album format. Though both authors are Spanish, their main target audience for Blacksad was the French market, publishing all Blacksad volumes in French first; the Spanish edition followed about one month later. The first volume, Quelque part entre les ombres, was published in November 2000. The second volume, Arctic-Nation, was published in 2003 and the third, Âme Rouge, was published in 2005. An English translation of the third volume was delayed due to the bankruptcy of its North American publisher, iBooks. In 2010, Dark Horse Comics published all three translated volumes as one volume. The publication of this 184-page collection also coincided with the European release of the series' fourth installment, L'Enfer, le silence, in September 2010. In 2014, a fifth installment of the series, Amarillo, was released in various translations.
