The press release follows:
Media Release -- Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime are excited to announce GUN HONEY, a new 4-part crime comic series written by Charles Ardai, the Edgar and Shamus award winner and co-founder of Hard Case Crime, with art by Ang Hor Kheng. Issue #1 launches September 15, 2021 with covers by superstar artist Bill Sienkiewicz and legendary movie poster artist Robert McGinnis.
Praised by comic creators Max Allan Collins (Ms. Tree), Ed Brubaker (Captain America) and Duane Swierczynski (Birds of Prey), GUN HONEY is a story about weapons supplier Joanna Tan, the best in the world at providing the perfect weapon at the perfect moment.
But when a gun she smuggles into a high-security prison leads to the escape of a brutal criminal, the U.S. government gives her an ultimatum: track him down or spend the rest of her life in a cell.
In addition to Sienkiewicz and McGinnis, the comic will feature stunning covers across the series from fantastic artists including Adam Hughes, Kendrick Lim, Jay Anacleto, Chris Wahl, Fay Dalton, Andrea Camerini, and more.
"Gun Honey is a project I've been working on ever since we launched Hard Case Crime Comics five years ago, and I'm thrilled to finally get to share it with readers," said Charles Ardai. "Anyone who loves Modesty Blaise or Alias or Uma Thurman in Tarantino's Kill Bill will be drawn to Joanna Tan's story the same way I was, and anyone who loves great comic book art will be floored by Ang Hor Kheng's stunning debut."
GUN HONEY is the latest title from Titan's acclaimed Hard Case Crime comics imprint, whose recent publications have included Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Electrified Tesla by award-winning author, artist and playwright Cynthia von Buhler; explosive manga Ryuko by Eldo Yoshimizu; the multi-volume complete Ms. Tree collection by Road to Perdition author Max Allan Collins; and adaptations of Stieg Larsson's international best-selling Girl With The Dragon Tattoo novels.
Gun Honey #1 will hit stores and digital devices on September 15, 2021. Fans will be able to pre-order in the US from their local comic shop, in the UK/Europe from Forbidden Planet, and digitally.
