Here are some "noirs" type comics, in my opinion, brought to us by fairy tale writer, Bruce Timm. He has a unique style that captures the cartoon side. That opinion might be due to the introductions that we had from him drawing for Batman the Animated series. Here are some risk-taking examples at writing, as well, and it sums up nicely with a bit of thriller type scenarios. These grifters of the senses will have to get what they're after in this series, All Crime Comics!
Bruce Timm has withstood the test of time, and has gone from surrealist to realizations unknown, but again through many genres and niches.
Noir and other crime type oriented fashion, it isn't as dated as one might think, but has been done over and again, with some calling for a break in the cycle lest we all become cynical and afraid. I can admit to watching the NCIS and other crime dramas, but nothing is taken aback to seeing it play out on the "News!" At some point one needs a ground wire in something stable and or positive, in order to still keep the spark of life. While the comics make some of the crime "interesting" and or fun for a while, as often as the villain is needed to "escape" to "crime another day?" It isn't the ultimate goal of the story telling, and the action can seem that we navigate with our heroes to a conclusion. Some of the fun in comics is trying to figure out who the heroes are, and while on "print of an illustration" it can still feel like a text that you read the wrong way, which in turn is interpreted different by another reader. Thus, the circle of comic reading with fans and buddies alike, while together interested in some common bond, can nerd out to those Noir type mysteries!
