The Creep

John Arcudi and Jonathan Case teamed up for this five-issue Dark Horse series, a moody 2012 crime noir set in the 1950s. It follows a down-and-out private detective nicknamed "the Creep" as he navigates a seedy underworld of corruption and moral decay. The book stands out for its atmospheric, shadow-drenched art and a hardboiled narrative that digs into the cost of a life spent in the shadows.
