About the series
In the hard-boiled, rain-slicked streets of a fantastical feudal Japan, Sam Noir: Samurai Detective (2006–present, Image) follows a lone-wolf samurai solving cases that blend noir mystery with sword-and-sorcery action. This three-issue series, known for its moody, cinematic art and gritty atmosphere, reimagines classic detective tropes through a distinctly Japanese lens.
