It’s been a long time coming, but Roger Gibson and Vince Danks can finally reveal the reason there’s been no Harker for the last 17 months…. they’ve got themselves a book deal with Titan Books: “Roger Gibson and Vince Danks have just signed a three book deal with Titan Books, which includes a hardcover international [...]

The Clock Strikes #1 By John A. Short and Vince Danks. Based on “The Clock” created by George Brenner Kult Creations Interesting stuff here, as John A. Short and artist Vince Danks plunder the public domain to bring back an obscure, pretty much forgotten hero, a character predating Superman by some eighteen months, the first of [...]

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 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 [...]

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

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Comments Off

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 [...]
