Noir

David Lapham's Noir is a single-issue crime comic from Dark Horse, published in 2009, that distills the hard-boiled genre into a tight, atmospheric vignette. Written and drawn entirely by Lapham, it showcases his signature gritty, shadow-drenched style and keen eye for moral ambiguity. While brief, this standalone story matters as a potent example of Lapham's mastery of noir storytelling outside of his celebrated Stray Bullets run.
