Hey everyone - a really quick update this time. Her Hardboiled Heart is funded, thank to amazing supporters like you. So if you pledged already, thank you.
And if you haven’t, there’s still a little time left!
You can pre-order all three issues right now, and I’ll send them as they’re published. Look for the Black Bag [intercepted] pledge level. It’s £40, and you’ll get a load of other goodies to say thank you.
Or you can pick up issue 1 for £6 (digital) or £12 (print) for all 40-pages of espionoir nastiness.
No worries if it’s not for you or you can’t go for it right now. I really appreciate your support.
What people are saying about Her Hardboiled Heart
I asked some comics pros for their take on the first issue, and I got some great responses.
“David Taylor’s Her Hardboiled Heart delivers a forceful noir tale of intrigue and paranoia told with striking high-contrast art and a deliberate pace that leaves me wanting more.” | Jason Copland (cartoonist, Full Tilt, Kill All Monsters)
"Look, David Taylor should be on your radar if you like some grit and noir in your crime stories. His works feel familiar, yet modern and uniquely crafted in his distinct style. Along with art and colors just as unmistakable that work uniformly with the story, this is a comic not to be missed!" | Taki Soma, (cartoonist, Sleeping While Standing, colorist, Dick Tracy, Murder Inc)
"In "Her Hardboiled Heart," David Taylor serves up a hearty plate of sexy noir, in a bloody world of espionage and international intrigue. If Miller's Sin City rumbled around in the sack with Rucka's Queen & Country, it might just spawn a comic as cool as this one!" | Tyler James (ComixTribe, ComixLaunch)
"David Taylor's art is evocative of both the heady elegance and sweaty, claustrophobic anxiety we associate with spycraft. Smokey rooms and furtive glances. Loaded gestures and the threat of sudden death, or worse. The story flows with a breeze that looks deceptively easy and belies the touch of a hand that knows exactly what it's doing." | Rocko Jerome (Writer/Producer of GHOST Agents)
I really do think this is the best work I’ve done, so I’d love you to be part of its journey.
Next time, I promise I’ll write something a lot less promotional!
Take care,
David
