Splash-page n°1 de Mike Danger #5 -"Sin Syndicate"

What a fantastic opener!
I love the introduction line (which unfortunately only appears in the album and not on the original):
"Old New York .. An amusement park for grown ups. And who could blame the adults of New York for wanting to escape into this Coney Island of sin?"
"Didn't their perfect future society treat them like kids?"

What could describe the atmosphere of this page better? It reminds me a lot of Frank Miller's Sin city. I was not really surprised to find out, that Frank Miller did draw the cover of the first album and it made me double proud to own this gorgeous awesome artwork!

About Eduardo Barreto

Luis Eduardo Barreto Ferreyra (1954 – December 15, 2011) was an Uruguayan artist who worked in the comic book and comic strip industries including several years of prominent work for DC Comics. Luis Eduardo Barreto Ferreyra was born in 1954 in Montevideo, Uruguay. From the Sayago neighborhood, his childhood and youth house was in Calaguala street; and he grew up reading comics and being an avid supporter of his favorite soccer team, Club Nacional de Football. Two of his children, Diego and Andrea, also work in comics, Diego as an artist, and Andrea as a colorist; both occasionally collaborated with Eduardo Barreto. In interviews, Barreto reminisced about the time when, at age seven, he was reading a comic and decided he would grow up to be a professional comic strip artist.
