Noir #5

Dynamite's Noir #5 brings together two of pulp fiction's most compelling heroines — Miss Fury and the Black Sparrow — and the cover by Ardian Syaf and Guillermo Ortego makes a strong case for their pairing. The two stand back-to-back against a crackling electric-blue backdrop: Miss Fury in her sleek black cat-masked costume with red-lined cape, whip raised, while the Black Sparrow in her militaristic black-and-red uniform holds a rope and fixes the viewer with a sharp, confident gaze. Part five of Victor Gischler's noir-drenched anthology series, with interior art by Andrea Mutti and colors by Vladimir Popov, this issue delivers the shadowy atmosphere and tough-as-nails heroism the title promises.
