Los Angeles, 1924. The city is a powder keg. One side of town is draped in velvet and spotlight. The other bleeds.
When a powerful crime boss’s family is targeted by a mysterious killer, he hires two private detectives—outsiders with nothing to lose—to track the killer down before an all-out mob war erupts. Their investigation leads them from smoke-filled jazz clubs to Hollywood studio lots, pulling back the curtain on the city’s darkest secrets.
“City of Demons” is a 12-issue miniseries steeped in noir tradition—corruption, blood, and betrayal wrapped in the glamour of a city built on make-believe.
