The Big Book of Hap and Leonard
Dust jacket and signature page illustration by Dirk Berger. Published by SST Publications.
The boys are back, and just in time for Season 3 of the Hap and Leonard TV series, starring Michael K. Williams (The Wire) and James Purefoy (Altered Carbon).
Hap Collins looks like a good ’ol boy, but his lefty politics don’t match. His buddy, Vietnam veteran Leonard Pine, is even more complicated: black, conservative, gay... and an occasional arsonist. With Hap and Leonard on the job, small-time crooks all the way on up to the Dixie Mafia are extremely nervous.
For the first time in print everyone’s favorite ass-kicking Texan duo are further immortalized in this expanded collection of tall tales, slick nonfiction, and four full-length novellas.
