Noir #2

Dynamite's Noir #2 spotlights two of pulp fiction's most formidable women — Miss Fury and the Black Sparrow — brought together in this 2013 anthology series written by Victor Gischler. The cover by penciler Ardian Syaf and inker Guillermo Ortego delivers a striking double portrait: a whip-wielding figure in a black domino mask crouches in the foreground while a cat-eared, caped figure prowls dynamically behind her, both poised against a smoldering, dramatic sky. It's a confident, stylish composition that makes a strong case for these noir heroines sharing the same dangerous world.
