Two tales of modern folklore from contemporary comics masters!

But after being assigned to a complicated murder investigation, the plucky journalist quickly uncovers hidden truths about her past and evidence of a terrifying force within the fairy world that challenges her certainties and makes her reconsider her priorities at the paper... Amar: Sidelined at Scotland Yard following the racist blunder of a colleague, Sergeant Amar Singh-a young policeman of Indian origins-finds himself reassigned to the department's underfunded fairy division. There, his investigation into the murder of a young fairy soon sets him on the trail of an odious trafficking ring, revealing a dark conspiracy that threatens to shatter both human and fairy alike...

Both short stories are in a world very much like ours in the sixties, except faeries are real and living along side us with all the prejudices that could be expected in the 60's. The location is the in the UK, London and the surrounding countryside feature heavily in both stories. If you do not have some basic knowledge of English culture, especially around police work, you may be lost in a few places or need to look phrases up.
The first short story is focused on Carrie, a young, human, woman, who works as a reporter when a fairy is murdered in London. She decides to start investigating and discovers a mystery that ties into her own past, any may be more then she initially planed on. The second short story is focused on Amar, a police man who is facing discrimination and is on a quest to prove himself. He starts digging into the mystery of both a dead fairy and a drug trafficking ring, and finds a small town that had gotten into trouble.
Both stories are well written and well illustrated, but neither stood out as anything deeply special. While I enjoyed reading through this graphic novel, I was disappointed by the fact the nothing in this graphic novel stood out as something setting it apart. I would recommend this to a small group of people such as those who read the first one and are looking for more of the same, those who love historical faeries, or those who really love comics. However for most people this will not be a must read.
