Description

These are the stories that launched the film starring Pamela Anderson as Barb Wire. Steel Harbor is an industrial town that's seen better days. Gangs run amok, and it's useless to call the police - but you can call Barb Wire. She's dangerous, deadly and mercenary; but she will right any wrong.

Praise for the comics that comprise Barb Wire: "The character development is enjoyable with some interesting setups such as the TV show, financial trouble with the club and a very fragile truce between rival gangs. None of the characters feel like archetypes thanks to Chris Warner's stellar writing, and Patrick Olliffe's wonderful artwork makes every action sequence electrifying. I can't wait to see what's next." --Hulking Reviewer "I liked this one a lot. Pick it up if you're down for something new. 9 out of 10!" --Comics: The Gathering "If you love overblown, loud, confident action stories then this is most definitely for you. 8.8/10" --We the Nerdy
