Intended for a juvenile audience. A rollicking vampire-filled graphic novel heist that will keep you guessing until the very end for fans of Bram Stoker s Dracula and Ocean s Eleven from award-nominated animator and comic book creator Stephan FranckThere are only two kinds of objects in this world. The ones that shine and the ones that don t. Silver s protagonist James Finnigan only concerns himself with objects from the first category. Those objects don t hide in plain sight. They hide in dark places. When Finnigan loses his grifter gang s lifetime fortune in a heist gone wrong he stumbles on a consolation prize in the crypt of the Harker Foundation-a notebook that tells of an ancient immeasurable treasure accompanied by a bar of pure silver to prove it. It s a tall tale but also Finnigan s only lead. In an effort to make up for what he s lost he mounts the heist of the millennium in search of the Silver Dragon. Just one catch: The famed treasure is said to be hidden in a castle full of vampires. Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s award-nominated animator Stephan Franck s Silver is a rip-roaring genre-bending graphic novel that draws on the best of gothic horror and heist tropes to tell a story that is pure adventure. Silver offers the captivating dynamics of an ensemble cast of misfits while inviting us to accept that Bram Stoker s Dracula was a tale of fact not fiction. The result is a smart innovative story complete with world-class visuals and sharply drawn characters that s equal parts action humor and heart.
