About the series
Hawaiian Dick, a four-issue series from Image Comics running from 2003 to 2016, transplants classic hardboiled detective tropes to a sun-drenched 1950s Hawaii. The story follows a mainland police detective exiled to the islands, where he encounters a volatile mix of local gangsters, supernatural menace, and the lingering shadows of colonialism. Created by writer B. Clay Moore and artist Steven Griffin, the series is notable for its lush, noir-infused artwork and its atmospheric fusion of pulpy crime fiction with Polynesian mythology. It stands out as a vibrant, offbeat entry in the crime-comics genre, earning a cult following for its distinctive setting and tone.
