Blood & Roses Adventures

Blood & Roses Adventures, a three-issue series from Knight Press launched in 1995, presents a gritty, character-driven crime saga set in a shadowy underworld. Written primarily by Bill Nichols and Bob Hickey, with moody, atmospheric art by Mark Hester and Joe Corroney, the series stands as a compact but potent example of mid-90s independent comics focusing on moral ambiguity and hard-boiled storytelling. Its limited run gives it the feel of a tight, self-contained graphic novel, offering a sharp snapshot of the era's pulp-inspired sensibilities.
