Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Black Cherry is a graphic novel by Doug TenNapel. The story is, initially, a rather simple hardboiled crime plot: Eddie Paretti is your basic mook working for the city's local Mafia don. Our story opens on one fateful night where Eddie's sense of ambition gets the better of him; the head of a rival gang offers him big money in exchange for stealing a body from his boss's mansion.The job goes farily well, but the aftermath is far more complicated than Eddie could have ever guessed. For one thing, it has brought him back in contact with his old flame, a stripper named Black Cherry. For another, this apparently-simple job has changed the infrastructure of the city's entire criminal underworld. For yet another, Eddie's stunt has inadvertently revealed the existence of extraterrestrial life. |

Possibly done to compensate for the fact that the book is extremely coy about female nudity. |

Cluster F-Bomb: Possibly done to compensate for the fact that the book is extremely coy about female nudity. Doug's foreword also mentions that although religion plays a significant part in the story, many of the characters are scuzzy lowlifes and thus hardly the kind to censor their own language. |

Abusive Parents: Part of Eddie's not-so-pleasant back story, and it becomes very important at the climax. |

Anti-Hero: Eddie is a Type V, though he eventually becomes a Type IV and the ending has him well on the way to moving further up on the ladder. |

Alien Invasion: Based on various lines of dialogue, it's likely either Type 1 or Type 3. |
