“A romance from Italian streets, where the melancholy dreams of Mafioso become nightmares.

“A hitman lies dying in the gray and narrow streets of Naples, a handsome new revolver by his side. Nino’s father gave him that gun for his birthday. It never fired a shot.

“Peppino spent his life taking orders from the bosses and dodging bullets. An old man, it takes a miracle to save his life one more time. He puts down the fishing rods of his retirement and picks up his old pistols and goes looking for revenge. Shots ring out over Peppi’s gray head once again as he searches for his son’s murderers and the shining black gun he gave to Nino on the last night of his life.

“Spare, romantic, surreal, ‘5 Is The Perfect Number’ brings Italian magic realism to graphic novels in a story about heroes, families and faith.”
