Poker noir

André Guerber's Poker Noir is a brief, two-issue comic series from 1980 that blends the high-stakes tension of underground poker games with a shadowy, hard-boiled crime aesthetic. Published outside the major superhero lines, it captures the grit and moral ambiguity of classic noir fiction through the lens of gambling's psychological warfare. Guerber's stark, atmospheric art and terse dialogue give the series a cult edge, making it a niche but memorable artifact of early '80s independent comics.
