Bob Burden’s Hitman for the Dead!

Hitman for the Dead.

Even without the cool Andrew Robinson art, the title would have brought me in for a closer look.

And it did.

ANTHONY HARKEN is a drifter, a detective of sorts, and a killer. While he kills the most evil kind of people – the unpunished murderers of the innocent – he knows he’s still a murderer, taking human life and operating totally outside the law.

 In the world of good and evil, Harken has chosen sides, but in the world of normal, everyday life, he has chosen an extreme and dangerous path. He carries a gun, he does drugs (Yage), he kills, and lives detached from a society that has no idea that people like him are even among us.

  To be sure, he fills in where the law fails: he is a vigilante. He is judge, jury and executioner. And there is no guarantee that he is always right or that he, himself will not make a mistake someday and dispatch someone who was totally innocent.

Anthony is not the only “hit-man for the dead” out there. There are others.

If this sounds like something you’d like, you’re going to love this!

Bob Burden, the creative genius of Hitman for the Dead has created a website for the property.  The site has all of the background info you could ask for, art and more.  Oh, and the more includes a 25K word Hitman for the Dead novella that you can download for free!

I hope Burden runs with.  I’d love to see more Hitman for the Dead prose stories and graphic novels.  Fire up the Kickstarter now!
