Frank Miller and Geoff Darrow’s Hard Boiled will be collected in hardcover for the first time ever this September, in a new edition recolored by Dave Stewart. The 136-page full-color volume has an MSRP of $19.99 and will be in stores on September 13.
Originally a three-issue comic book miniseries, Miller and Darrow won the 1991 Eisner for Best Writer / Artist for Hard Boiled. In the dystopian tale, a seemingly human insurance investigator learns that he’s actually a cyborg tax collector cum assassin.
Hard Boiled was recently optioned for a feature film with Ben Wheatley (High-Rise) attached to direct (see "'Dune,' 'Old Guard,' 'Hard Boiled,' 'Dark Tower,' 'Predator,' More").
The new edition of Hard Boiled should be a handsome shelf companion for the Big Guy and Rusty hardcover that Dark Horse released in 2015 (see "'Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot' Hardcover"). Stewart also did a masterful recoloring of that series from Miller and Darrow.
