It's a good noir myth and one made for the superior way comics can deal with noir style. And it's a myth from the dark side, the Johnny Cash known from the spare Rick Rubin-produced recordings of Kleist's eponymic title, or 'Hurt' or 'Thirteen.' 'I See a Darkness' is more the story, or even the myth, than the facts. Not that Kleist is inaccurate, but his biography does put these words in Sherley's mouth as a sort of manifesto. In the end it's the stories that remain, not the facts. "Now and then," Sherley says, "you gotta read 'tween the lines to get the real story. Sherley is trying "to get an idea of the man, get to know him." Halfway into Reinhard Kleist's excellent graphic novel, he has Glen Sherley, the Folsom Prison inmate who wrote "Greystone Chapel" for Johnny Cash, telling another convict that he reads all the stories on Cash he can find.
