The Black Hawk Line

From 1990 to 1994, Jack Staller both wrote and drew this five-issue series for Le Lombard, a taut, self-contained crime saga set against the gritty backdrop of a struggling shipping line. The story follows the crew and owners of the Black Hawk as they navigate smuggling, betrayal, and the corrosive weight of the past, all rendered in Staller's stark, moody linework. A focused, noir-infused European comic that stands as a concentrated example of a single creator’s vision.
