Free The Fade Out, Vol. 1 Ebooks Online
“A fun, fast read that is fully engaging. The multiple story lines and deeply flawed characters will keep the reader invested. Some of the content is for a mature audience, but this should not deter a worthy library purchase. For fans of Brubaker and Phillips, film noir, and Golden Age Hollywood stories.” - Library Journal (Starred) Brubaker and Phillips' newest hit series, The Fade Out, is an epic noir set in the world of noir itself, the backlots and bars of Hollywood at the end of its Golden Era. A movie stuck in endless reshoots, a writer damaged from the war and lost in the bottle, a dead movie star and the lookalike hired to replace her. Nothing is what it seems in the place where only lies are true. The Fade Out is Brubaker and Phillips' most ambitious project yet!

The Fadeout written by Ed Brubaker, drawn by Sean Phillips, colored by Elizabeth Breitweiser“That was just how it was here. Something in the air made it easier to believe lies.” These lines appear on page two of The Fadeout Volume One, setting the tone and theme for a sharply written and evocatively drawn graphic noir story set in 1940’s Hollywood. The tone is also set by how our main character, screenwriter Charlie Parish, is introduced to us—hung over in a strange bathtub with little memory of last night’s wild party. Which is too bad, since there’s a strangled starlet, Valerie Sommers, lying just a few feet away.Simon clears away any signs of his presence and leaves, but turns out that’s the smallest cover-up going on here. Soon the reader is following along a twisted path of drunken recollection and unreliable memories related by a guy who may or may not be the killer of a girl whom “He’d liked more than most of the actresses he knew. She was better than she seemed. Less worldly than you expected … the kind [of girl] you were supposed to protect.” A guy as well who suffers from PTSD, not to mention being a big fan of alcohol. But The Fadeout isn’t limited to Charlie’s POV or even his story, though it is the (so far at least) the main narrative.
