Issue #1
Published 2013 by Assailant Comics.$2.50
$2.50
Written by Chris Charlton, Artwork by David Hollenbach. Set in the late forties, a favored time for the crime/noir genre, Black of Heart follows a pair of detectives and the killer they are attempting to track down in Brooklyn, New York. Recently promoted to homicide detective, Drake Harper has seen some shit, and there are few he can turn to. A city full of criminals. A partner that drinks too much. A wife that cheats. Written by Chris Charlton, the owner of Assailant Comics, Black of Heart tells the dark and gripping if somewhat predictable story of a homicide detective in the last forties. A much used premise. A much used era. A much used genre. But Black of Heart is by no means bad. Since the crime/drama genre was popularized (especially in the last five to ten years), it seems like every murder mystery plot has been exhausted. 28 pages, B&W with partial color. Cover price $4.99.
