Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys

Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys 1-6
I never read the Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys books, but the classic spines of those hardcover books evoke a pleasant sense of nostalgia nonetheless. 

My piano teacher had a ton of these in her house.

Anthony Del Col teams up the famous detectives and thrusts them into a noir crime story with enough unique elements that I didn’t feel like I was reading just another mystery.  He’s joined by Werther Dell’Edera, who mixes Tim Sale and Declan Shalvey into a moody, timeless art style.  

Shalvey...

...plus Sale...

...equals Dell'Edera

A fun, standalone story that stands on its own, even without the IP.

Regret buying: No
Would buy again: No
Would read again: Yes
Rating: Nice
