Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Lady Killer Library Edition introduces us to Josie Schuller, a picture-perfect homemaker, wife, and mother—but she's also a ruthless killer!

She masterfully balances cheerful domestic bliss with coldly efficient assassinations. From the World's Fair in Seattle to the beaches of Florida, Josie strives to keep her picture-perfect family alive in this bloodstained vision of the American Dream.

Joelle Jones became an overnight sensation with this gory midcentury series, which led to her successful runs on DC's Catwoman and Batman titles. Now, Lady Killer's complete story (so far) is compiled in one oversized hardcover, providing a perfect showcase for Jones's phenomenal artwork.

This oversized hardcover collects the original series co-written by Jones's longtime collaborator Jamie S. Rich, as well as the follow-up, which she both wrote and illustrated solo. Also included are sketchbooks from both series and previously unpublished art.

This edition collects Lady Killer TPB volumes 1 & 2.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The graphic novel's unique combination of style, humour, and violence has made it a standout piece within the genre.
