Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys: The Big Lie

In this 2017 Dynamite Entertainment series, Anthony Del Col and artist Werther Dell'Edera reimagine the classic sleuths as young adults in a hardboiled, noir-tinged mystery. When the Hardy Boys are framed for a murder they didn't commit, they must go on the run and team up with Nancy Drew to clear their names—but nothing is as it seems in their seemingly idyllic hometown. The series subverts the golden-age adventure formula, injecting it with modern suspense and a darker, more complex tone that challenges the characters' iconic reputations.
