The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch, by Neil Gaiman, Michael Zulli and Todd Klein, Ill. OR: Dark Horse Comics, 2008

            Intended for older audiences because of its chilling and down-right fabulous creepiness! Nudity is beautifully drawn and adds to the allure of this mystery. What happened to the lovely and topless Mrs. Finch? Could be used in a high-school creative writing course for it’s excellent portrayal of a modern day mystery.
