Description
By turns riotous, tragic and brutal, DESOLATION JONES represents the acclaimed six-part serial, now presented in a deluxe hardcover featuring an extensive gallery showcasing select pages in their raw form, just as they looked leaving J.H's art table.
"Los Angeles is an open prison for broken spies.
Michael Jones, once an agent for British intelligence before a procedure to make him a better operative left him mentally and physically shattered, survives in LA as a private investigator, eking out a living within the city's ghost community of damaged spooks. If he had any better future to look forward to, he probably wouldn't now be embarking on his newest job: locating the lost pornographic home movies of... Adolf Hitler.
From Warren Ellis (Trees, Transmetropolitan, Castlevania) and JH Williams III (Echolands, The Sandman Overture, Batwoman), with Jose Villarrubia and Todd Klein."
