There are some stereotypes, as almost all law enforcement officers are canids or foxes, while underworld characters, the outcasts, are reptiles or amphibians. Besides John Blacksad, there are two other characters with some prominence: Smirnov, a police inspector who helps John with his investigations, and Weekly, a dwarf weasel, who works as a sensationalist journalist and who occasionally acts as the protagonist's sidekick, though we only meet him in volume 2.
This is definitely a series not to be missed. The illustration is exceptional, with the use of dramatic shadows, night scenes and gloomy interiors.
