About the series
Howard Chaykin’s Big Black Kiss is a three-issue series from Vortex Comics, launched in 1989. The creator writes and draws a gritty, hard-boiled tale that showcases his signature style—sharp, angular art and cynical dialogue. Though brief, it’s a notable example of Chaykin’s mature, noir-inflected storytelling from a key era in independent comics.
