Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie #6

The concluding chapter of Anthony Del Col's noir reimagining arrives with a cover by Fay Dalton that sets an unmistakably grim tone: Nancy Drew crouches at the edge of dark, shallow water, flashlight in hand, illuminating a body lying face-up in the shallows while two figures loom at the edges of the frame. It's a tense, atmospheric image that speaks to the darker, more adult direction this Dynamite series has taken with these beloved detective characters. Werther Dell'Edera's interior art and Stefano Simeone's colors round out a creative team that has given The Big Lie a moody, cinematic feel throughout its 2017 run.
