About this title

Synopsis

A cult hit is back, the way it was always meant to be seen, from co-creators Joe Casey(GODLAND) and Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead).
Cameron Daltrey is an L.A. bail bondsman. His specialty is criminals of the superhuman persuasion, the type who rarely make their court dates. Thus, Cameron leads an interesting double life: Bail bondsman by day, masked bounty hunter by night.
Packed with extra features, this full-color collection also includes an all-new Codeflesh story by Casey and Adlard ― the first original story in seven years!

From Booklist

Superficially, Codeflesh is just another masked-crime-fighter saga. Bail bondsman Cameron Daltry's clients are either big as trucks or "gifted," so that when they skip their court dates, they require special attention (e.g., a scruffy teenager with telekinetic capability has to be knocked out and kept out to be taken in). Daltry retrieves his own no-shows but, having been court-ordered not to, dons a full-head mask with a bar code on the face for the nonce. Unfortunately, his bondsman days and bounty-hunter nights tick off his exotic-dancer girlfriend. The book bounces between pounding sessions with the baddies and fence mending with her. The whole thing resembles a string of TV cop-show episodes, but few TV shows' visuals are anywhere near as impressive as Adlard's artwork. Adlard has the high-contrast, deep-focus look of the best films noir down pat, now and then effectively steering the occasional panel, especially in fight scenes, toward almost "unreadable" abstraction. He draws the way Elmore Leonard and James Ellroy scenarios ought to look. Ray Olson

Store Description

Pulpfiction Books is one of Western Canada's largest independent bookstores. We maintain a basic stock of approximately 100,000 titles in three different Vancouver neighborhood locations and most days see several hundred new books added to the shelves. In addition to full runs of reading copies by most major science fiction, fantasy, and mystery authors, we carry a wide assortment of contemporary fiction, literature, books on art, architecture, cultural studies, philosophy, science, music, travel writing, cookbooks, poetry, drama, and most other major subject fields. We travel regularly throughout North America, sourcing rare and hard-to-find titles. We buy books every day. No appointment is ever required to sell books to us. While the bulk of our purchases consists of recent trade and mass market fiction and nonfiction, we are always interested in purchasing antiquarian stock, particularly in the visual arts, architecture, and Northwest Coast art and literature.
