About the series
In 2022, Image Comics launched Image Firsts: Neo Noir as a single-issue sampler, showcasing the signature moody, crime-tinged storytelling most frequently illustrated by Sean Phillips. This standalone entry distills the publisher's contemporary noir aesthetic into a tight, atmospheric introduction—no ongoing saga, just a concentrated dose of shadowy intrigue. It matters as a crisp entry point for readers curious about Image's modern hardboiled edge, anchored by Phillips' reliably gritty visual style.
