Harker

From 2009 to 2010, Ariel Press published Harker, a taut 13-issue crime series driven by the steady creative hand of writer-artist Vincent Danks, with co-writer Roger Gibson. Set in a grim, rain-slicked city, the story follows a relentless detective navigating a labyrinth of corruption and violence. Danks’ stark, moody artwork and Gibson’s lean scripts give the book a hard-boiled, film-noir feel that stands out in the independent comics landscape. For fans of gritty procedural storytelling, Harker is a compact, atmospheric gem from a small press that punched above its weight.
