From the text:
With Darkpages I sought to create a new kind of comic book roleplaying game, one inspired by horror and crime comics. I call this style Graphic Rolyplaying both for its reference to the medium of the graphic novel and the no-holds-barred attitude of these stories. Amoral anti-heroes and stories of sex, violence, pain, tragedy, betrayal and that one last shot at redemption... all the things that make memorable stories so memorable.
