Former Dared⛄evil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight is returning to comics alongside artist Leno Carvalho, colorist Bruno Hang, and letterer Troy Peteri for a new original graphic novel titled Hard Bargain from publisher Humanoids.
Hard Bargain tells the story of a gritty private investigator 🍒named Frank Harding who finds himself confronting demons from the literal underworld while di🐽gging into a mystery in the criminal underworld of '40s Los Angeles.
"In this dark supernatural thriller, a detective races to solve a deadly mystery in the heart of Los Angeles before a horrific fate 🥃descends upon everyone it touches," reads Humanoids' official description of Hard Bargain.
"Frank Harding is a hard-boiled P.I. in '40s Los Angeles who finds himself fighting not only the usual cadre o🅺f criminals and ne’er-do-wells, but also the occasional demon and other malevolent supernatural beings," it continues. "While fighting the forces of darkness is another day at the office for Frank, his curr🎉ent case, tied into his own past and LA's all-too-real history of prejudice and discrimination, may be the one that puts Frank out of business…for good."

DeKnight is best known to fans as the second showrunner for Netflix's Daredevil streaming series, as well as its Jupiter's Legacy series. He ♎also directed the film Pa⛄cific Rim: Uprising.
"Hard Bargain has been a dream thirty years in the making. An idea that sprang from my 𓄧love of two-fisted, hard-boiled detective stories and mat𒁃inee creature-features of days gone by,” says DeKnight in a statement. "I'm thrilled to finally have that dream realized via the incredible artwork of Leno Carvalho and the good people at Humanoids."
"Hard Bargain is a new universe of possibilities with new challenges and new rewards," adds Carvalho. "A stro🍸ng, concise narrative rich in twists and turns that combines the charm of old detective stories with the action-packed thrillers of today."
Hard Bargain goes on sale in August.
