The Roach

Publisher:  Hometown Productions
Length:  4 issues
Writer/Artist:  Robert Roach
Genre:  Vintage Crime
Format:  Black and white, 24-page issues


Creator Robert Roach pushes the “noir” genre to a new extreme with his expressive artwork, and gritty tale of crime in this four issue series. The Roach is an iconoclastic retelling of Prohibition-era private eye vs. hoodlum stories with an enigmatic anti-hero – a detective/assassin known only as The Roach – at the center of the action.  Fans of Sin City, Vertigo and Marvel Knights, the Roach is here for you, and will soon be infesting foreign markets around the world.
