SANCTION by Ray Fawkes, Mark Irwin, Antonio Fuso, Emilio Lecce and Dave Sharpe!

Dan Panosian’s cover for Sanction caught my eye.  So I took a closer look. Here’s the lowdown…

Sanction is by Ray Fawkes (Author, Creator), Mark Irwin (Creator), Antonio Fuso (Illustrator), Emilio Lecce (Colorist) and Dave Sharpe (Letterer).  

To catch a rampaging serial killer in Soviet era Leningrad, two detectives must match wits with the murderer while battling the oppressive rules of their own police force and a greater, hidden enemy.

Leningrad, 1987. When a woman’s corpse is discovered on New Year’s Day, a hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff hands off the case to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, hoping he’ll close it without fuss. Instead, Dimitrovich uncovers a connection to an old, unsolved crime, dragging them both into an investigation that puts their careers – and possibly their lives – at risk.
