MURDER! EXCITEMENT! SUSPENCE! THIS IS THE STORY OF BOW & ARROW!
The story follows two detectives in a murder investigation, which leads to a huge web of international conspiracy to cover up one of religion's societies and 90's pop music secret. The noir setting mixed with surreal humor makes this a very unique tale that examines all the clichés of crime fiction.
It all begins on a rainy night. Right above a 50s themed strip club, a Jackie-O look alike discovers her roommate is dead. Being turned down by the police, she decides to call the local detective agency. There she meets with Philippe Arrow, the weathered old private eye forgotten by time. And Maximilian Bow, his loyal but eccentric sidekick.
The two detectives, intrigued by the heinousness crime and the police's reluctance to deal with it, begin the investigation. It will lead them deeper and deeper in a world of conspiracies, murder and utter idiocy!
Do you dare to follow them?

love cult detective flavor comics and story lines. Its awsome! can't wait to see more of this.
good fight!
You had my vote.Keep up the awesomeness.
Well done so far! My vote is for you. I think the story and and the drawings are well rendered but I'd propose to alternate the density of colours, drawing elements and text. Otherwise it becomes saturating. You dont do it in the overall story (so far) and even the pages tend to be homogenous.
Bravo again!

Solid art and story; really professional presentation.
go team go!
alliws pame gia ...vrouves ;)
I agree with Brock about the setting yp of the premise, and with the coimbined excellent colour, artwork and - hallelujah! - light-hearted tone and alternative angle (i.e. not about superheroes or sci-fi action stars), I think Bow & Arrow have hit the target and taken my vote...
Off to a good start. The dynamic between Bow and Arrow reminds me of Dylan Dog and Groucho. Art is beautiful. Great stuff, really.
Gorgeous art, good dialogue and an intriguing ending gets my vote. Plus, you set up the premise perfectly, an unfortunately rare thing in Zuda competition land.
I like this a lot.
Well paced and funny - got my vote.
bravo sas, its really good on the graphic level, would like to read more the literary level though, we can't really see it
γέα μα μαν ιτς δε μπεσττττ
go go go γιέα woooo
Yeah! whatever. Some people are just so silly to understand this comic! Or they prefer to review a comic than read it, hahah!
Go on, you can still win this round! Take my vote.
This is silly, and not as fun as I thought it'd be, quite frankly. Bow and Arrow seem to be the least interesting part of the strip, and unfortunately take up most of its time. I'd rather read about a stripper named Jackie Oh! solving a murder (with Lucille Ball in a thong along for the ride...), but oh well... Art's nice, colors are moody, but every detective show needs a simple premise, and I guess I don't get what this one's is; a guy who lives in the 40's and a nerd? Doesn't even really make sense, let alone seem at all interesting.
And while I assume it ties into some sort of cover up, etc., why didn't the cops bother to hide anything at the murder scene? They just left? I don't get it...

This is a great comic! First, second place... Does not matter! OK it does, but still, this is a great comic!
This Dynamic Duo is delivering a comic better than a Moore/Miller one!
Yes they pay me big $$$$!
PS: My favorite cardinal is Cardinal Lemoine.
Interesting Story! Like It! Good Colors!
the "bow & arrow" comic and a good lunch, would be my last wishes before dying in the static electricity chair

The humor escaped me, but I did give a fair rating because humor is hard to accomplish. Plus, it doesn't seem like you need my praises with so much back up support. Heh.
I went into a shop once. There were no labels on anything. So I was unable to make a puchase. It didn't really work as an experience for the seller or the buyer.
My answer to mpd57's review:
I disagree completely. Maybe it’s because I’m Swedish, but I get the european humour it’s going for. Like a good french movie, it goes beyond conservative conventions that expect cartoon-like funny images to match a joke-oriented humour.
I also don’t understand why it has to have a label to please you. What if it’s “black, slapstick, whimsical” all at the same time, or none?
I really appreciate intricate, good art in EVERY circumptance. It’s extremely superficial to think that because a story has a “lightness”, the work that goes with it should be less accurate or detailed.
Thx guys, for the comments and the support, hope to win :)
Damn! Your art is splendid, George! I check your blog and blow my mind. The story is hillarious and I love the Macarena driven to Magdalena! Great! Best of luck to you guys. My vote and fav.
Hey I really like the colours on this one. Good work, and good luck!
kalh epityxia!

I like it! The art and color are reeeeeeally good. The writing's a tad on the punny side, but I'm digging the mystery angle. Big props on the lettering too. It fits the art style to a tee.
mpd57: Thx that you spend your time thinking and writing about our work. Also, thx for your comments and the link about my art. You are right that what we call comedy its not my style. There is humor at my stories, but they are not comedy. Althought, i like to try working at different kind of stories and this is my first try at comedy.
You go head!
here's my opinion!
Terrific!
pure win.
