Egg: Hard-Boiled Stories

Eric Skillman's Egg: Hard-Boiled Stories (2009–2010) is a two-issue miniseries that serves up a pair of self-contained, hard-edged crime tales, each built around a single, striking egg-shaped visual conceit. Published by an independent press, this short run showcases Skillman's knack for tight, noir-infused storytelling, where the mundane object of an egg becomes a loaded symbol of tension and consequence. It's a sharp, compact example of how a focused creator can wring maximum drama from a minimalist premise.
