About the series
In the hard-boiled crime thriller The Hard Place (2017–present, Image), writer Doug Wagner and artist Brian Stelfreeze deliver a taut, five-issue saga of two aging bank robbers forced into one last job when their retirement fund is stolen. With Stelfreeze’s moody, cinematic art capturing the grit of a life on the run, the series explores loyalty, desperation, and the inescapable weight of past sins. A lean, potent entry in Image’s crime comics lineup, it stands out for its sharp character work and unflinching look at the cost of a criminal career.
