Accident Man (comic strip)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Accident Man is a series of comic strips written by British comic writers Pat Mills and Tony Skinner and co-created with artist Martin Emond. The stories were initially printed in Toxic! in the early 1990s. A film adaptation was released in 2018, and its sequel in 2022.
The story centers on the life of Mike Fallon, a high-class hitman. Fallon was known for making his murders look like accidents, often going to extravagant lengths to do so. Fallon is also noted for his love of high living and glamorous girlfriends. Mike Fallon's "I don't give a damn" attitude to his hits was changed the day his ex-girlfriend (a would-be Greenpeace activist) was murdered. Fallon then went on a murderous rampage to find out who paid the contract on his girlfriend and who actually made the hit.
