Posted on by

The-Complete-HANK-HOWARDBad Idea has unveiled the stunning cover to The Complete HANK HOWARD ultra-deluxe hardcover. Beautifully painted by superstar artist, Alex Maleev (Batman, Daredevil).

One of the most talented and respected artists in comics, Maleev rarely ventures outside of the big two. An Eisner award-winning master illustrator, known for his seminal work on Daredevil, with frequent collaborator Brian Michael Bendis, which became the visual template for the hit Netflix television adaptation.

For Hank Howard, Pizza Detective, Maleev paints a stunning vision of a Hollywood, Florida besieged by pizza crime. His painting is both reminiscent for and a modernization of the evocative paperback pulps covers that adorned crime and mystery novels of the 1920s and 1930s, while simultaneously invoking, through color, modernist fare such as the work of Sean Baker and A24 in The Florida Project. Against it all, he casts Hank as the prototypical detective of noir cinema in the vein of such giants as Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade and Ed Exley.
