Description

Something HUGE is coming... set in a world where humans and giants live in uneasy peace, two detectives from either side of the divide must work together to solve a bizarre crime! Perfect for fans of fantasy detective fiction, it's Chinatown meets Roald Dahl's The BFG, in an all-new comic from superstar team of writer Adam Rose and artist Magenta King!


Something huge is coming!


When A STRING OF MURDERS and disappearances sweep the UNITED STATES, a human and a giant WITH SIZABLE DETECTIVE SKILLS are on the case!

After a race of giants emerged from deep sleep beneath the earth, a bloody conflict ensued in what became known as THE OMEGA EVENT. Eventually, a treaty is resolved and state of Brobdingnag is created, allowing humans and giants to co-exist harmoniously.

Yet tragedy threatens to shatter the peace, and an unlikely patnership is formed between Detectives Tamaki and GYANT.

As the pair attempt to stop the criminal AT LARGE, they find themselves involved in a mystery BIGGER than either could imagine.


Written by Adam Rose (Corollary) and illustrated by Magenta King (Jenny Zero) this all-new story is a neo-noir fantasy with hard-boiled giants and grizzled cops, as these most unlikely partners must work together to solve a convoluted mystery, endorsed by Patton Oswalt!

Reviews
"Enormously clever and as high as high-concept gets, this is crime fiction writ large." Charles Ardai

"Huge Detective is the rare read that's completely surprising and new. If you're looking for a book where you'll genuinely have no idea what's coming page to page, strap in. This is the comic for you." - Jeremy Whitley (Sea of Thieves, Princeless)

"Human kaijus, an unsolved murder, and a delusional inmate-- all rolled together in Rose and King's intriguing story. I'm itching for the next issue to see how they all come together!" Norm Konyu (The Junction)

"Huge Detective takes a wild premise and then goes places with it." Mark Russell (The Snagglepuss Chronicles, The Flintstones and Batman: Dark Age)

"Adam Rose's Huge Detective delivers us into a shockingly original world where what we know isn't real is depicted with such clarity and emotional honestly that it will grow from your imagination to become reality. Groundbreaking!" JC Chandor (Margin Call, All Is Lost, A Most Violent Year)

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
