Murderburg

Veteran indie cartoonist Carol Lay delivers six tales of larceny, lunacy, and love. Muderburg (sic), a sleepy island town off the coast of Maine aims to maintain a quiet existence for their population of families, fishermen, craftspeople, and aging oddballs. But every so often, incursions from scheming outsiders require ex-gangster mayor Leo Scazzo (and his loving wife and children) to enact counter-schemes to keep the peace for the other townsfolk... Collecting the complete run of short stories (serialized as Murderville in the 2010s) under one cover, Carol Lay's vivacious cartooning keeps the light side of these dark comedies shining.
