The Noir of Matt Baker #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the 2016 miniseries that reimagines the classic 1950 graphic novel 'It Rhymes With Lust,' spotlighting the pioneering work of artist Matt Baker. The story follows a femme fatale and a naive young man caught in a web of political corruption and personal betrayal, presented here with restored art and contextual essays that examine Baker's influence on noir comics and his groundbreaking career as a Black artist in the Golden Age.
"It Rhymes with Lust" kicks off a gritty, emotionally charged noir from Arnold Drake and Matt Baker, with Ray Osrin’s sharp inks bringing the shadowed streets of Copper City to life. When former journalist Hal Weber returns to the city after the death of mining tycoon Arthur "Buck" Masson, he’s pulled into a web of secrets, loyalty, and desire—caught between the woman who once broke his heart, Rust, and her enigmatic stepdaughter, Audrey, as the truth behind Buck’s death begins to burn through the lies. The cover by Matt Baker and Ray Osrin perfectly captures the issue’s moody, high-stakes atmosphere.
