A classic whodunit murder mystery that spans the globe from Paris to Hawaii to Montenegro as we hustle to keep up with the most unlikely murder-solving duo in the history of murder-solvers.

Sam, who is in his early twenties, is an orphan, taken in when he was younger by his well-off Aunt Merry who has an eccentric taste for antiques and travel.

Together, Sam and Merry have solved some of the most notorious murders in the world. And true to form, their Parisian vacation is cut short when they stumble upon a murder scene so bizarre that only a raging psychopath could have produced it.

But to solve the crime, they have to wrestle with jewel thieves, art forgers, gun-runners, a lost puppy, and a master French detective who may just solve the crime before they do.

Collects issues #1–#3 of Gilt Frame.

Praise for Gilt Frame

On Matt Kindt’s Mind MGMT:

“Best first issue I've read in a loooong time is MIND MGMT.”—Brian Michael Bendis, writer of Avengers and Ultimate Spider-Man

MIND MGMT has got me for the long haul. If you are a fan of mysteries, if you are a fan of Kindt, if you are a fan of comics: pick this up!”—ComicsBulletin.com Five-Star Review

“Combines all the elements I love—conspiracies, morally ambiguous characters, nonlinear storytelling. Awesome.”—David S. Goyer, co-writer of The Dark Knight and Man of Steel

“Matt Kindt is the man. Superb series.”—Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Brief  Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Every step of [MIND MGMT] is as thrilling as it is original. You will be surprised. Shocked. Entertained. And if you’re like me, you will be desperate for more.”—Damon Lindelof, creator of Lost

MIND MGMT is the best comic out there!”—Jeff Lemire, creator of Black Hammer and Sweet Tooth

“A ferociously smart and brilliantly inventive page turner of a mystery.”—Scott Snyder, writer of Batman, Superman Unchained, and The Wake

“The best mainstream comic of the year.”—AVClub.com

“Matt Kindt has developed into one of the most exciting and original talents in the business.”—The LA Times

“Matt Kindt is a storyteller so fully in control of his gifts that his graphic novels read like quietly compelling arguments for the comics medium's narrative potential.”—NPR

MIND MGMT is to the brain what Chris Ware’s Acme Novelty Library books are to the eyes. Every chapter of this thought-provoking series utilizes deceptively simple imagery that conceals layers upon layers upon layers of seductive fiction.” —Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise, Rachel Rising)

“It is a reading experience that only comics can give you, and only a great storyteller like Matt can pull it off.”—Darwyn Cooke, writer and artist of Richard Stark’s Parker and DC: The New Frontier
