Bmw Films the Hire #1 (Of 6)

MATT WAGNER (W/A) On sale July 14* FC* 32pg Author Raymond Chandler wrote* "Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean* who is neither tarnished nor afraid." Chandler was talking about his own character* Philip Marlowe* but he could just as easily been referring to the Hire* the star of BMW Films' series of short films. Now Dark Horse and BMW Films are bringing The Hire-the enigmatic hero capable of doing the hard thing for the right reasons-to the comics page. Just as each of the films is directed by a different top director* each issue of The Hire will be a stand-alone story by a different top creator or creator team. First up: Matt Wagner* the creator of Grendel and Mage. When the Hire is asked to sneak a rich man's spoiled* scandalous daughter out of town* he thinks the worst he'll have to deal with are persistent paparazzi. Then the bullets start to fly... This summer* there's a new kind of hero at the wheel. Buckle up! www.bmwfilms.com
