Eightball Hunter #1

Kicking off with serious attitude, Eightball Hunter Vol. 1 — "Loser" introduces a badge-flashing, tattooed blonde in a leather jacket, gun in hand, standing in front of a sharp classic Ford Mustang with a duffel bag at her feet and an urban overpass looming behind her. The setup promises a gritty, street-level crime story with a bounty-hunter edge, and Callixte's clean, confident linework gives the whole scene a stylish European noir flair. Published by Strip2000 in 2015, this opening volume is a sleek, promising start to what looks like a hard-boiled ride.
