Since coming to Time Bomb Comics in 2019, dark comedy crime series Harker has quickly become a favorite of the British Indie comic scene. This new comic finishes out the second storyline and will be published in February after a highly successful Kickstarter pre-order campaign.  

DCI Harker is enjoying a holiday in Whitby, and the last thing he wants is to be drawn into solving a murder. So when a famous novelist is killed right in front of him, he decides he’s a suspect and relaxes on the dodgems. DS Critchley, however, needs his help, especially when another body washes in with the tide. Could Harker really be the murderer? He’s certainly grumpy enough…

Following on from the huge success of the previous story, Harker: The Book of Solomon, and the first volume of The Black Hound, Time Bomb Comics and creators Vincent Danks and Roger Gibson, and colorist Andrew Richmond are excited to bring this finale to fans.

Like the previous Harker books, this graphic novel is part two of two: a full colour, sixty-eight page perfect bound volume of this thrilling crime series – a unique homage to classic tv detective shows, filled with humour, wit, adventure and mystery.

DCI Harker is a homage to the classic tv detectives: he has the shabby dress sense of Columbo, drives a car Morse would love, has the grumpy demeanor of Gene Hunt from Ashes to Ashes, possesses the quirky oddness of Monk and displays the dazzling brilliance of Sherlock Holmes. He’s a classic hard-boiled English copper in his late fifties: moody, antisocial and almost incapable of functioning in the modern-day police force. DS Critchley, his faithful assistant, is his foil – modern and smart with an eye for the girls, but equally strange and eccentric.

Harker The Black Hound Part Two will be published in February 2023.
