Animal Noir

In Animal Noir (2017–present, IDW), writer and artist Troy Little spins a single-issue, self-contained crime yarn where the hard-boiled detective is a cat and the femme fatale is a mouse, all rendered in lush, shadowy cartooning. Released as a standalone one-shot, it distills classic noir tropes into a playful, animal-headed world, showcasing Little’s distinctive fusion of pulp storytelling and expressive, character-driven art.
