The Hard Boiled series was written by Frank Miller with art by Geof Darrow. It won the Eisner Award for best Wirtter/Artist in 1991. It was orinally planned to star Nicholas Cage and be directed by David Fincher. Now, Frank has been quoted on saying that he would like to direct this series. He told MTV, “We’re talking about [it].
