The Quentin Tarantino movie that never ends! An epic crime drama featuring a large ensemble cast—for fans of Breaking Bad, The Wire, Pulp FictionBeginning in the 1970s and carrying on into the 1990s, Stray Bullets is a period crime drama with moments of humor and absurdity. David Lapham’s crime noir masterpiece follows the lost lives of people who are savagely torn apart by events beyond their control: The innocent world of an imaginative little girl is shattered when she witnesses a brutal double murder. An introverted young boy on the verge of manhood gets a lesson on just how far is too far when he falls for a needy woman who lives life in the fast lane. Or party with a pair of low-rent hoods who learn what is really important in life just when they shouldn't. What makes Stray Bullets so brilliant is that it’s a crime comic, but it’s also about growing up, about being frustrated with your lot in life, about the disappointment of settling down, and the mundanity of suburban life. Lapham shrewdly presents almost every type of criminal behavior imaginable in stories that can be both unflinchingly honest and heartbreakingly sympathetic. The almost Altman-esque mix of characters provides seemingly endless pathos and drama, and there is a level of realism to the violence that makes it truly startling. If movies like Oceans 11 are about the sexy allure of the criminal worlds, then Stray Bullets is about the desperation and rage of characters whose lives are ultimately defined by a series of bad choices. The Stray Bullets: Uber Alles Edition collects the original five story arcs of this iconic crime comic book series together for the first time in one massive, 1,200 page volume. "The Innocence of Nihilism," "Somewhere Out West," "Other People," "Dark Days," and "HiJinks and Derring-Do" appear in their entirety. Collects Stray Bullets issues #1-41.
