Noir Burlesque #2

The second volume of Enrico Marini's Noir Burlesque arrives wrapped in a cover that says everything about the world inside: a flame-haired chanteuse leans into a vintage microphone while a stone-faced man in a suit grips a rifle, a shadowy city skyline and a dark automobile looming behind them. Marini's linework and composition carry that sleek, mid-century pulp atmosphere with real elegance — all smoldering glamour set against quiet menace. If the first volume drew you in, this 2022 Dargaud release looks every bit as stylish a reason to stay.
