The series attempts to reflect a dirty-realist outlook and a dark cinematic style through fairly clean, realistic lines. In 2014, a fifth installment of the series, Amarillo, was released in various translations. The publication of this 184-page collection also coincided with the European release of the series' fourth installment, L'Enfer, Le silence (literally Hell, Silence), in September 2010. In 2010, Dark Horse Comics published all three translated volumes as one volume. An English translation of the third volume was delayed due to the bankruptcy of its North American publisher, iBooks. The second volume, Arctic-Nation, was published in 2003 and the third, Âme Rouge ( Red Soul), was published in 2005. The first volume Quelque part entre les ombres (literally Somewhere between the Shadows, but simply called Blacksad in the US) was published in November 2000. The series has been translated from the original French and Spanish into Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Czech, English, Finnish, German, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Hungarian, Swedish, and Turkish. Though both authors are Spanish, their main target audience for Blacksad is the French market and thus they publish all Blacksad volumes in French first the Spanish edition usually follows about one month later. Blacksad is a comic album series created by Spanish authors Juan Díaz Canales (writer) and Juanjo Guarnido (artist), and published by French publisher Dargaud.
