It’s been quite a while since we had any news regarding Harker, a series I very quickly came to love in 2009 and 2010, written by Roger Gibson and drawn by Vince Danks. This was just a little of my praise for issue 1 & 2: “This is one of those books that I knew [...]

As another Thursday rolls around Alex Fitch pauses from selecting his Halloween costume and carving digital pumpkins to fill us in on the latest shows he is involved in, including a chat with a (thoroughly disreputable but we love them anyway) pair who are firm faves with the FP blog. As ever for more information [...]

It’s been a few months since the last issue of Harker. And anyone who reads it will no doubt be missing it terribly. But Roger Gibson and Vince Danks have a very good reason for their absence from the shelves – it seems they’re very, very close to putting the finishing touches to getting it [...]

Harker Volume 2 – The Woman In Black by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks Ariel Press Anyone who regularly reads the FPI blog will know I’m a huge fan of Harker.

Harker issue 11 by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks Ariel Press I can’t really say any more about Harker than I already have (see here for all the examples so far – it’s fair to say I’m a fan); so I’ll simply state yet again that it’s consistently entertaining and wonderfully enjoyable stuff and issue [...]

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 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 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 [...]

Harker 7 by Roger Gibson and Vince Danks Ariel Press At this point, after four glowing reviews of the first Harker storyline I should just be writing a quick recap, a quick mention of the new issue and assuring you that the first issue of this second storyline is just as strong, just as good, [...]

Harker issue 6; a fitting conclusion to a great first storyline

Harker issue 6 by Roger Gibson and Vincent Danks Ariel Press It’s getting to the stage where I can’t really review Harker properly anymore. I’ve already reviewed the first 5 issues and found so much to enjoy that I’d imagine it’s obvious that, unless Gibson and Danks completely screw it up, issue 6 is going [...]

Harker issue 5 Roger Gibson & Vince Danks Ariel Press The latest issue of this top quality detective series, and the penultimate issue of the first storyline. I’ve looked at it twice already: “This is one of those books that I knew I was going to enjoy within the first ten pages. It had that [...]
