Citizen Nocturne

In 1992, Brave New Words launched Citizen Nocturne, a single-issue comic that stands as a moody, self-contained gem from the early days of the publisher. Artist Michael Allred (credited as M. Dalton Allred) brings his distinctive, clean-lined style to this noir-inflected story, marking an early showcase of his signature visual storytelling. Though brief, the issue remains a curious artifact of its era, offering a glimpse into the experimental spirit of a small press that would go on to influence the alternative comics landscape.
