There are currently few purveyors of the hardboiled noir school of pulp fiction that are as good as the
Hard Case Crime imprint from
Titan Books. When I want a new crime fiction book to read, I go through the crime section of the book store, looking for the familiar white and orange spine with that
Hard Crime logo. I am never disappointed. When
Titan Comics announced a few years ago that they would be adding a
Hard Case Crime comics line, I was over the moon. There have been some great comics since:
Peepland,
Normandy Gold and their adaptation of the
Millennium Trilogy have been some of the best crime comics of recent time. Now, add to this list the awesomely named
Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini.
