This new 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.

From the Publisher
The Chicago Sun-Times described Andrew Vachss` stories as `hypnotically violent ... made up of equal parts of broken concrete block and razor wire.` The New York Times said, `Vachss seems bottomlessly knowledgeable about the depth and variety of human twistedness.` All of that depth and all of that knowledge is displayed in Hard Looks, adapting Vachss` short stories to comic book format. A graphic novel companion to Vachss` short story collection, Born Bad, this isn`t just a `hard look` at our human species, it`s a call to action against its predators ... and a profound statement of respect for those scar-carrying members of that vast tribe Vachss calls the `Children of the Secret.`
