Capote In Kansas HC 
Writer: Parks, Ande
Artist: Samnee, Chris

Capote’s struggles with the town, the betrayal, and his own troubled past make this book a compelling portrait of one of the greatest literary talents of the 20th century. A new edition of the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Ande Parks (Lone Ranger) and Chris Samnee (Daredevil). Format: HARD COVER Price: $19.99
