Cole Black Comix #1
In 1976, Rocky Hartberg launched his own comic with *Cole Black Comix #1*, a gritty noir tale set during WWII. When rising star Lily Pond—daughter of Stanguard Industries’ industrialist T. Stanguard—is kidnapped, her father turns to the weary private eye Cole Black, whose past shadows may be as deep as the mystery he’s about to unravel. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Rocky Hartberg, the cover by Hartberg captures the era’s tension in a striking, period-accurate 1.00 USD package.
