Noir Burlesque

A moody, modern European crime series from Carlsen Comics, Noir Burlesque (2022–present) is the solo creation of writer/artist Enrico Marini, blending his signature lush, cinematic art with a hard-boiled, sensuous underworld tale. Set in a shadowy, stylized milieu, the story follows a mysterious dancer caught between dangerous men and her own dark past, unfolding across two issues of taut, atmospheric suspense. Marini’s distinctive visual storytelling—all smoky chiaroscuro and expressive figures—gives this compact series a potent, film-noir intensity that feels both classic and fresh.
