Untitled[edit]

I saw Frank Miller at Apple Comics in Los Angeles when Hard Boiled came out. Frank was drunk as hell, and could hardly stand up straight. Geof was very quiet and seemed a little disturbed because of his fetishistic intensity while weilding a pen. Geof made a very detailed sketch for a woman waiting in line getting his and Frank's autographs, upsetting others waiting to get a signed book. Ah, memories! G-man, 12-15-05

I'd suggest this might need a slight repolishing as it comes off slightly pov with a geof fanboy perspective. Especially of note would be the last line about him working on the matrix films which belongs either in the matrix films entry or his own entry, but definately not here.--68.231.174.183 02:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Various[edit]

It says published "on" 1990 but later that it took nearly three years to come out. Which ?

The Darrow page says it was based on Dick's "Electric Ant" not the more famous "Androids" - any source for either ?

Police Raid[edit]

"Haefer, Todd. "Police Raid Comics Store, Books Confiscated" in Sunday Northwestern, pp. A1-A2. Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 3/10/1991.

"Hard Boiled: A police raid is spawned by an issue of 'Hard Boiled' sold to a sixteen year old boy. Four crates of comics were seized by police. Charges were not yet issued against the store. Interview with Maggie Thompson of Comic Buyer’s Guide." from http://www.cbldf.org/research/bibliography.html

Anyone know anything about this? I can't find the article cited. Jordansc 22:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whose Interpretation?[edit]

"One possible interpretation of Hard Boiled's outrageous violence and lack of any real character development is that it is actually a thinly veiled commentary on, and mockery of, the type of stories written after Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen, among others, that capitalized on the grittiness and violence of those stories while generally ignoring the deeper themes, characterizations or experimental storytelling styles of their predecessors."

Who has made this interpretation? 24.164.77.105 23:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hardboiled3.jpg[edit]

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
