The Hard-Boiled Comics debut story arc, Back in Blackmail, concludes in explosive fashion! Tortured, ridiculed, haunted, and way too sober, Private Eye Billy Blackburn has finally had enough. He’s got scores to settle, and no one plays the game better than a guy who thinks he’s got nothin’ to lose. Trouble is, everyone’s got something to lose, and by the time the buzzer sounds on this one, Billy Blackburn’s gonna understand the true cost of playing… and true nature of his opponents. Hollywood just loves a happy ending. Plus, see the too-smart-for-his-own-good reader who came up with the title of our letter column get bumped off on-panel in brutal fashion, courtesy of Our Man Finned, Hammerhead!
