Azzarello and Brubaker are definitely within the harboiled
tradition. But Milligan's HUMAN TARGET I thought was
something special. It was noir, it was a thriller ... but it
was also, as is usual with Milligan, something transcendent
-- a metaphysical examination of identity. Heady stuff for a
'funny book'.
