Sinossi
Cari Seltz e un ispettore assicurativo., un marito amorevole e un padre devoto. Nixon è un folle omicida esattore delle tasse, che scambia la città per un campo di battaglia di cui lui è l'indiscusso signore. Unità Quattro è l'assassino robotico definitivo e l'ultima speranza per i servitori meccanici suoi simili. Tutti questi aspetti sono rinchiusi nella stessa, psicotica identità che muove i suoi passi in un deformante incubo della post-modernità, ridotta ad un ibrido cibernetico-umano.

Recensioni
A crazy bloodbath dystopian horror story (really just a slim short story) most sane people would not want to read. Originally published in 1990, re-released by Dark Horse for your viewing "pleasure." But it has some amazing (and at the same time horrific, be warned) intricate art work by Geoff Darro Leggi tutto
Sam Peckinpah on amphetamines with revisions by Hunter S. Thompson - so over the top you just have to go with it! There is a 'saturation' point when it comes to graphic violence; very few writers/artists are able to pass that point and still present a meaningful story. This book is a rare exception
I read this originally when I was in my teens, and oh boy! That's certainly the right time to read it! I kind of expected I would like it a lot less now (44-year-old fart) but it really hit the spot! The story is pretty straightforward, but we're here for the insanely detailed art, full of unrepentan Leggi tutto
You realize the sumptuousness of violence--how this is even a possibility--with the help of Frank Miller. And the theme, how outside but ruthless forces make and break a man, a person, is stellar, futuristic, oh so right. This is a Hollywood movie, right? A series on Netflix, huh? Somewhere?
Πως έτυχε και αγόρασα το "Hard Boiled": Νοέμβρης μήνας, Μαύρη Παρασκευή, και είχα ήδη στα χέρια μου δυο κόμικς και έψαχνα ένα τρίτο, για να ισχύει η προσφορά "τρία στην τιμή των δυο". Εκεί που έψαχνα, λοιπόν, το μάτι μου έπεσε στο συγκεκριμένο. Το καταπληκτικό εξώφυλλο, η σκληρόδετη έκδοση, ο τίτλος Leggi tutto
Френка Міллера не люблю, а от Джефа Дерроу - обожнюю. Це яскравий приклад слабкої історії та божественного малюнку, виконаного чи не найбільшим психопатом-перфекціоністом в індустрії. Сюжет простий як п'ять копійок: умовно неблизьке майбутнє, де панує капіталістичний рай, розпуста й тотальна машиніз Leggi tutto
Blade Runner + Heironymus Bosch + Where's Waldo pretty much equals Hard Boiled. This book may ostensibly have a plot, and Frank Miller may ostensibly have written the many onomatopoetic monosyllables induced by stab wounds and tractor trailer collisions, but the only reason to flip through these pag Leggi tutto
