Angeltown is a 5-issue comic book limited series created in 2005 by writer Gary Phillips and artist Shawn Martinbrough, and published by Vertigo Comics, an imprint of DC Comics. The story is told in the blaxploitation idiom, with nods to the detective stories of Chester Himes and Walter Mosley.[1]
In 2011, the series was reprinted by Moonstone Books as Angeltown: The Nate Hollis Investigations, which included two new illustrated short stories by Phillips.
