Silver: Of Treasures and Thieves (Silver Book #1): (A Graphic Novel) Kindle & comiXology
"Silver is so big, bold and juicy! I absolutely love this book!” —Bill Sienkiewicz, Eisner Award–winning artist of Moon Knight and Elektra: Assassin
“There may not be a better original vampire comic book in America than Silver.” —ComicBookBin
"A dynamic, thrill-filled story— A really, really fun ride!” —Tim Sale, , Eisner Award–winning, bestselling artist of Batman: The Long Halloween
There are only two kinds of objects in this world. The ones that shine and the ones that don’t.
James Finnegan, master thief, only concerns himself with objects from the first category. Those objects don’t hide in plain sight. They hide in dark places.
When Finnigan loses his grifter gang’s entire fortune in a job gone wrong, he’s desperate to make amends. He stumbles on his chance to do so in the crypt of the Harker Foundation, where he finds a bar of pure silver and a notebook that tells of the Silver Dragon, an ancient, immeasurable treasure beyond imagination. It’s a tall tale, but also Finnigan’s only lead. To make up for what he’s lost, he formulates the heist of the millennium in search of the Silver Dragon. There’s just one catch: the famed treasure is said to be hidden in a castle full of vampires.
Set in the noir-pulp era of the 1930s in a world where Bram Stoker’s Dracula is more fact than fiction, Silver is a genre-bending, rip-roaring romp that’s equal parts gothic horror and pure adventure. With its ensemble cast of misfits, beautifully sharp art, and whip-smart humor, Stephan Franck has struck gold in the first of this critically acclaimed duology.

The book is a vampire story. Although the storylines are completely different, for some reason I get an “American Vampire” vibe out of it.
The plot: Burglar James Finnigan and his two accomplices, Mullens and Brantley, plan one more heist before settling into retirement. Over ten years of thieving and investing, they amassed over 5 million dollars to split up. That was a lot in 1931. Unfortunately, as Finnigan was escaping the FBI on his last job, he lost the key to where the booty was stored. Fate gives him a book with directions on where to find a silver pyramid (I don’t know for sure, but it may be ten feet tall) in the form of a dragon. To gain another fortune, all they have to do is steal it. The silver pyramid is in a castle owned by one Drah-Khann. The castle, naturally, is in Transylvania (you know – the same country Dracula called home). The castle is normally sealed, but once a year for three days (uh - three nights) vampires come from all over the world for a celebration. Perfect time for a heist. If the vampires don’t get them first.
Finnegan, Mullens and Brantley add four companions – a vampire killer named Rosalynd Sledge, a nearly deaf forger named Mister Moineaux, a washed-up actor named Hamilton Morley (aka Ham), and a ten-year-old boy, Tao, whose talent is the ability to see other people’s near time future (but not his). And off they go to Transylvania.
I enjoyed the book. The story moved along crisply, with some surprises along the way. I have two quibbles. One, the book is the first book in a duology and ends just as Finnegan and crew have set things up and are ready to go for the gold (uh - silver). So I must buy the second book to see what happens. That’s why I tend to avoid most duologies and trilogies. My second quibble is when I went to buy Book 2, it wasn’t published yet. Bummer.
My rating is 4 for story so far, plus 1 for the production quality, plus 1 for the interesting explanatory material at the end, minus 1 because I can’t rate a book higher than 5 stars.
Rating: 5 stars
