The gallery show follows the 2017 release of Alack Sinner: The Age of Innocence[IDW], the first of two volumes that present, for the first time in English, the complete Alack Sinner comics by the Muñoz-Sampayo team, as well as the recent release of Billie Holiday [NBM], also in hardcover in English for the first time. Featuring nearly 60 pages of original pen and ink illustrations and sketches from Alack Sinner as well as original pages of art from Billie Holiday, the show opens on Dec. 1st, 2017. Known for his heavily stylized, shadow-filled black and white imagery, José Muñozhas influenced generations of comic book artists. Many fans and critics consider Muñoz and Sampayo's work to be a direct inspiration for Frank Miller's Sin City. Muñoz himself has said, "I like the nerves, the gesture, the energy of the manual blurring that we can make appear between light and shadow, on the border between them, where they are always collaborating and discussing the limits. Both the shadow and the light excite me, differently.
