In this dark supernatural thriller, a detective races to solve a deadly mystery in the heart of Los Angeles before a horrific fate descends upon everyone it touches.

HARD BARGAIN, an original graphic novel from acclaimed Daredevil and Spartacus filmmaker Steven S. DeKnight with artist Leno Carvalho, colorist Bruno Hang, and letterer Troy Peteri.

This is a book crafted in the Humanoids tradition, created and written by a scribe at the top of his game, with art by an incredible artist with influences from both US comics and European bande dessinée.

1940. The city is named Los Angeles, but you’d be hard pressed to find any angels there. Demons, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen, and if you have the bad luck to get mixed up with one, there’s only one private detective to call: Frank Harding.

Demons, monsters, and various and sundry mystical ne’er-do-wells are Frank’s bread and butter. With the help of his gal Friday, Nahla, and his hookup to magical munitions, Rumi, there’s not much he can’t handle.

But “not much” ain’t “nothing.” A mysterious woman is using dark magics to push old friends of Frank’s to perform nightmarish self-mutilations, and all signs point to Frank being next.

With time running out, Frank follows every lead he has to keep one step ahead of annihilation, including his old arch-nemesis Doctor Wraith and even Death herself.

Frank’s investigation unearths tough truths, old sins, and new terrors that threaten everything he holds dear, and if he wants even the slightest chance to make it out alive he’s going to have to put everything on the table for one last HARD BARGAIN.
