Tomorrow, Oni Press will launch Calavera P.I., a supernatural Chicano noir set during the Golden Age of Hollywood, by writer/artist Marco Finnegan (Morning Star, Night People). We are pleased to present an exclusive preview of the four-part series’ second issue, which will follow on December 4.

Calavera PI #2 cover A

Five years after he was gunned down in cold blood, private investigator Juan Calavera has been resurrected from the dead to help Maria Valdez find her missing son. As he contends with his ghastly new appearance and powerful abilities, Calavera returns to an unrecognizable Los Angeles ravaged by the Great Depression. Meanwhile, hidden amid the fog of the Mexican Repatriation, La Fantasma continues her human trafficking campaign. Will Calavera’s thirst for vengeance get in the way of finding Maria’s son?
