Hard Looks: Adapted Stories (3rd edition) Kindle & comiXology

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

Andrew Vachss' writing has been described as "red-hot and serious as a punctured lung" (Playboy), "hypnotically violent ... made up of equal part broken concrete block and razor wire" (Chicago Sun-Times), and "short and choppy, like the ticking of a time bomb" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer).

This new digital-only edition collects eleven of Vachss's life-at-ground-zero comics stories, brought to life by an outstanding lineup of the industry's most talented writers and artists. This exciting book also contains a gallery of covers from the original
Hard Looks series, as well as a cover by Geof Darrow, award-winning artist and creator of such titles as Shaolin Cowboy, and co-creator of The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, and Hard Boiled.
The
Hard Looks preview features story pages from "Drive-By" by Joe Lansdale and artist Gary Gianni.

    5.0 out of 5 stars " And that's a very good thing. He made me think
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 April 2017
    I've recently been introduced to the writings of Andrew Vachss. This is my THIRD copy of this book (somewhat for collectors value to me). It's really hard for me to explain who and what or even WHY Andrew is a big deal. The first few books left me with a sense of 'Wha?" And that's a very good thing. He made me think, he left me speechless, he makes me feel small and insignificant! HOW does a man like this think of some of his subject matter? DO the research and see WHO he is. It will start to click. To me there's nothing better than someone that can write an entire story in a few pages, and NOT leave you wanting to know more details - they are/were there. You don't have to fill in much as he's provided the framework. I can remember only one other writer that made me feel a sense of wonder like Mr. Vachss does. He's in great company, but this is HIS review. Buy ANY Vachss book, and you won't be disappointed, I guarantee that.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A true Vachss graphic novel
    Reviewed in the United States on 29 December 2022
    My wife and stepson are huge fans of Andrew Vachss. Got him the original comic series and she got the graphic novel version. Everything was perfect.

    3.0 out of 5 stars where's Burke?
    Reviewed in the United States on 27 June 2013
    Each story was OK, but just OK. Vachss has written much better stories, such as Blue Bell. Any of the Burke series would have been much better
