The book is written by Jeff Jensen — most notably a writer on HBO’s Watchmen TV show — and illustrated by George Schall, who has been doing breakout work on Made in Korea, one of the best new series of 2021. This book, which is due out in October, was inspired by the true story of Kate Warne, America’s first female detective.
