Beware the Creeper (Vertigo)

(Vertigo, 2003)
™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

Set in the Paris of the Lost Generation of the 1920s – even boasting an appearance by author and adventurer Ernest Hemingway, Beware the Creeper puts an intriguing Vertigo spin on a mainstream DC Universe concept. This is not Jack Ryder with his super-strength and his “molecular rearranger”; it is the tale of twin sisters -- the staid, conservative Madeleine and the capricious, sensual Judith; the men in their lives; a serial rapist; and a lithe, strange figure who leaps about the Parisian rooftops – a symbol of the madcap, dangerous lifestyle of the Roaring Twenties. Writer Jason Hall weaves a haunting, grisly tale and a compelling mystery, and artist Cliff Chiang’s pictures bring it to gorgeous life.
