ĪLEX SEGURA: Ed, can you talk a bit about RECKLESS? You and Sean have tackled the dark side of humanity in various ways, but I know you also love characters like Lew Archer-heroes that have to stick their hands in the muck. I sat down with Brubaker to talk about the new series, why the team decided to go straight to the collected, graphic novel format, and what readers can expect to see in the first volume of Reckless, out Dec. That’s about to change with the December release of RECKLESS, the first in a series of original graphic novels set in the wild world of 1980s Los Angeles, and starring recalcitrant hero Ethan Reckless, who comes face to face with a ghost from his own, radical student past.īrubaker and Phillips, along with colorist Jacob Phillips, are known for their dark, noir takes on the world-whether it’s the period piece The Fade-Out, the vigilante justice of Kill or Be Killed, or the gritty anthology series Criminal, the team have made a name for themselves exploring the dark corners of the criminal underworld to great acclaim, sales, and prestige. In the decades writer Ed Brubaker has partnered with illustrator Sean Phillips, they’ve never created a private eye, despite their shared love for the crime genre and the PI sub-genre in particular.
