there is absolutely nothing more hard boiled than Frank
Miller's black and
white graphic novel series SIN CITY. particularly the 1st
originally
serialized collection which features a serial killer who makes
his victims
watch as he eats their severed limbs, and then collects their
heads on a
wall; and a protagonist who murders a crooked archbishop, feeds
the serial
killer to his own dogs and dies in the electric chair at the
end.
Mike Hammer did indeed begin life as a comic book character
called Mike
Danger. new Mike Danger episodes are now being published and
are written by
prolific mystery writer Max Allan Collins. the series has also
been optioned
by Miramax Films.
