Moonshine

In this first volume of a new series by Azzarello and Risso, the renowned creators of 100 Bullets take readers deep into a well-constructed Prohibition-era werewolf horror story. A successful mob boss of the New York City underground sends his smooth-talking boy Lou Pirlo to the backwoods of West Virginia to obtain some high-quality Appalachian hooch. Hiram Holt's moonshine is worth dying for, and it's kept that way in order to protect not only the alcohol but also Holt's family and secrets. Lou doesn't take any of the opportunities given to him to get out of the situation and soon finds himself last on the moonshine receiving line. By the end, the werewolf guarding the Holt liquor could be any one of the mountain people claiming to be part of the proprietor's clan. Perhaps the creature's true identity will be revealed in Volume 2.
