Hotwire: Deep Cut

In the neon-drenched, post-industrial future of Hotwire: Deep Cut, Steve Pugh writes and illustrates a gritty, three-issue miniseries for Radical Comics that follows a hard-boiled female exorcist who can see and banish the restless spirits haunting a decaying city. Released in 2010–2011, this self-contained story deepens the supernatural noir world Pugh established, blending cyberpunk aesthetics with ghostly horror. It stands out for its singular, fully-realized vision from a creator who both writes and draws, offering a tight, atmospheric thriller that feels like a lost cult film.
