Road to Perdition
Road to Perdition
By Max Allan Collins & Richard Piers Rayner
DC Comics/Paradox Press
Distinct from the hit movie, this is the original, and a powerfully told story it is.
The story of Michael O'Sullivan, a hitman whose family are them selves killed with the exception of his eldest namesake son, and the pairs subsequent tale of escape and revenge along the way.
A passing nod to Deathwish, a graceful bow to Lone Wolf & Cub, and an extended a hat's off to Max Allan Collins himself for the way he concisely unravels this crime noire tale, filtering it with emotion, passion and violence as necessary to portray what is ultimately a coming of age story.
