From
the back cover
“Years
ago, Jacob Kurtz was a happy family man, long-retired from the life of crime he
was raised in. Then the police made him the prime suspect in a horrible crime
and ripped his world apart. Now Jacob is less than a shadow of his former self,
an insomniac who roams the city at night. Until one bad night he walks into the
wrong place at the right time, and starts tumbling down a twisted path from
wild sex to kidnapping, robbery and murder.”
Review
Kurtz,
the creator of the Gazette-published comic strip Frank Kafka P.I. (seen
in at least one previous Criminal graphic novel), is haunted by the
past─which is still patiently stalking him. Bad is another excellent,
nails-it deeper-into-the-Criminal-verse
work, with its new character slant: it has all the sleaze, violence,
f##ked-upness, corruption and sex of earlier Criminal entries, making
this a graphic novel worth owning. Followed by Criminal: The Sinners.
