FEATURED GRAPHIC NOVEL

Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys: The Big Lie
By Anthony Del Col & Werther Dell'edera
Dynamite Entertainment | 9781524104177, $19.99
Release Date: November 2017

When the teenage brothers Frank and Joe Hardy are accused of the murder of their father – a detective in the small resort town of Bayport – they must team up with Nancy Drew to prove their innocence (and find the real guilty party in the process) in a twisting noir tale, complete with double-crosses, deceit, and dames.

“Mystery fans, fans of the original series, and fans of Hope Larson and Brittney Williams’ Goldie Vance will likely enjoy Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys for its vintage charm, amped-up drama, and superb art.”
