Book cover for Quarry’s Return featuring a cheerleader and another girl holding a gun
Quarry’s Return by Max Allan Collins
Old Man Quarry returns for the coda to the coda. I love seeing the older version of the character and MAC fixes his biggest mistake with a great character return. As always, he's at the top of his writing game.

MAC brings a coda to Quarry and we get to see our older "hero" revisit some of his past as he tries to find out who is affecting his present in this one that doesn’t miss a beat and is chock full of meta commentary.

Killing Quarry by Max Allan Collins featuring a woman pointing a gun at a man, also holding a gun
Killing Quarry by Max Allan Collins
This one really feels like a throwback to the original four Quarry books. It’s incredibly tight and lean and crackles with energy in its shorter page count. And who doesn’t love seeing old characters return?

The Loose End by Dave Dwonch

The Loose End is a fun, little crime dramedy that was just wacky enough to work but still keep me guessing about what trouble the crew would be getting into next and I just love not knowing what's coming next.

#Hardcasecrime made a #Quarry comic !?!?!
Older nerds may be familiar with the Quarry pulp novel series.
They’re GREAT !! Stoked to see how the comic holds up as I don’t recognize ANY of the creators.
Cover for Heat Seeker: Combustion - A Gun Honey Series featuring Dahlia Racers a stacked redhead on skis
Heat Seeker: Combustion
An absolutely fun and sexy cheesecake James Bond or Mission: Impossible style of adventure that thrills from page one until the last that like all these Gun Honey comics knows exactly what type of story it is and leans into it perfectly.
