Noted crime-novelist/comic writer Gary Phillips (Shotcallerz, Midnite Mover) and artist Shawn Martinbrough (THE LOSERS, DETECTIVE COMICS) deliver ANGELTOWN, a gritty 5-issue mystery set in the sun-drenched mean streets and shadowed suites of Los Angeles. Angeltown #1 is a special 40-page issue at no extra cost!

Meet Nate Hollis — a Los Angeles-based private eye who’s cool as a frozen cucumber and tougher than a box of nails. He’s just landed the biggest — and possibly the last — case of his career.

When a pro basketball star — L.A.s #1 baller — mysteriously disappears after his wife is found brutally murdered, it’s up to Hollis to find him and either bring him to justice or prove his innocence. However, the smooth-talking P.I. soon learns he’s not the only one looking for the infamous hoopster, and must navigate between a crooked District Attorney, a ruthless and resourceful gangster, and a deadly-but-beautiful bounty hunter.

In between dishing out beat-downs and juggling two amorous career women, the ghosts of Hollis’s past begin to surface. Will Hollis find the missing baller before his deadly competitors do? And will clues from this case reveal leads to his lifelong mission — to find his father’s murderer?
