Frank Miller and Geof Darrow turned the comics world on its ear with HARD BOILED, a three-issue barrage of blood and guts described by Rolling Stone as "intricate, kinetic, and thoroughly outrageous"! Now the two-man team returns with a horse of a different color: THE BIG GUY AND RUSTY THE BOY ROBOT. **THE BIG GUY AND RUSTY THE BOY ROBOT is for all ages Unlike HARD BOILED, THE BIG GUY AND RUSTY THE BOY ROBOT is intended for all ages. "Go ahead and buy it for your kid," said Miller, "but don't expect Barney here. It's action and carnage from cover to cover!" In the two-issue debut series, which Miller describes as, "straight-ahead superhero adventure," a giant creature has invaded downtown Tokyo. He's tearing apart buildings and mutating the city's fair citizens into a legion of monsters! So the government sends prototype defense robot Rusty into the fray, in hopes that he can end the carnage! When Rusty falls, Tokyo calls on America. And America deploys The Big Guy, ten feet of fierce firepower built to serve and protect! **It's Geof Darrow's first major project since HARD BOILED. Since HARD BOILED, Darrow has done a number of pinups and short stories for various publishers. But TBG&RTBR is his first major work since that three-issue series. "I've been busy practicing animal husbandry," said Darrow. "There's nothing quite like delivering a calf by c-section, dang it!" "Geof's art for HARD BOILED has been described as the most detailed comics *ever*," said editor Bob Schreck. "But these pages...you'll need a week of solitary confinement after viewing these babies!" "Geof knocked himself out to draw the biggest, wildest monster story anybody's ever seen," said Miller. "One warning: You know how Geof gets with the detail. Once you fall into one of these pages you might have trouble climbing back out again." "I had fun," said Darrow, "and I hope you will, too!" THE BIG GUY AND RUSTY THE BOY ROBOT is a two-issue, full-color series in the Big Guy-format of 9" x 12.5". Coming out under the Legend imprint, the first issue is scheduled for July 25, 1995, with the second issue shipping one month later.
