Azzarello uses Lou’s frequent bouts of alcohol-induced memory loss to play with the narrative, frequently jumping ahead and then sometimes returning when Lou learns what happened while he was blacked out. “Handsome” Lou is the gangster Joe “the Boss” Masseria picks to trek down to Virginia and make the deal. If you want the really short version, it’s this: this comic is a mess. This is the kind of critical insight that keeps you coming back. I also literally just realized that the title is a play on werewolf canon too. If the copy and the silhouette on the back cover don’t clue you in that this is a werewolf story, in the very first scene of three revenuers get dismembered. Moonshine is a new comic about a Prohibition-era gangster sent deep into the dark hills of Virginia to recruit a hillbilly moonshiner to work for the organization.
