Harker issue 10 by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks Ariel Press Here we go again….. by now you know how much I enjoy Harker (see the review of Volume 1: The Book Of Solomon for a reminder), so when I got the latest issue I was almost tempted just to write a quick piece announcing it’s release and [...]

It could have been an excuse just to hype the Harker comic (which I do rather enjoy – see the review of  Volume 1 here), but instead Harker’s new twitter feed is full of all the great one liners and sarcastic funny stuff that makes the comic so much fun. Here’s the first few tweets – [...]

Harker issue 9 Plot, story, script – Roger Gibson. Plot, art – Vincent Danks Ariel Press. And here we are again, another issue of Harker, another review (for the others try here).

Harker 8 By Roger Gibson and Vince Danks Ariel Press Oh, I may as well give up on this review right here. By now you know I really enjoy this right? You’ve maybe seen the reviews here, here, here, here and here? Or maybe read the blurb on the back of Harker Volume 1 by me: “A great detective [...]

I like Harker, the crime comic by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks. To see how much you merely have to trawl the FPI archive – start here.
