The basis of a Netflix Original Movie!

Ripped out of retirement by an assassination attempt, the world's most deadly spy--the former agent known as Black Kaiser--is a wanted man that's wanted . . . dead! On a collision course with his former employer, the Damocles Agency, Black Kaiser goes head to head with a stab-happy, psychotic torture expert and a seductive but deadly redhead. His mission only ends if he dies or kills everyone out to get him, and he's not in the habit of dying.

A guns-blazing espionage action-adventure in the grand tradition of Jim Steranko and Frank Miller, this graphic novel by Victor Santos (Mice Templar, Filthy Rich) is a brutal, fast-tempo story of revenge that Newsarama says is "as ice-cold as its name." Originally a silent webcomic, but Santos has crafted a script as hard boiled and intriguing as his art for this hardcover collection.
Victor Santos, born in Valencia, began his career in 1998 by contributing to fanzines and local papers. His first professional work was 'Gaijin', published from 2000 by 7 Monos, Dude Comics and Dolmen Editorial. He also took on the heroic fantasy series 'Los Reyes Elfos', and an anthology of short stories called 'La Doncella y los Lobos'. Santos has cooperated on the 'Pulp Heroes' saga at Astiberri, did the superhero comic 'Protector' (Dolmen), a juvenile comic called 'Aventuras en el Mundo Jung' (Aleta Ediciones), and fantasy titles like 'Faeric Gangs' (Astiberri) and 'Lone in Heaven' (Aleta). For the French publisher Soleil, he created the series 'Young Ronin', for which he does script, art and colors.
