Hard Boiled

From 2008 to 2009, System Comics published Hard Boiled, a three-issue miniseries that delivers a gritty, no-nonsense crime thriller. The series is most associated with writer and artist Rafael Albuquerque, whose stark, kinetic visuals drive the story of a hard-edged protagonist navigating a violent underworld. A lean, punchy entry in the crime-comics genre, it showcases Albuquerque's early work before his later mainstream acclaim.
