The Noir of Matt Baker

A two-issue tribute from Boardman Books launched in 2016, The Noir of Matt Baker spotlights the masterful, atmospheric crime and horror artwork of the legendary Matt Baker. The series pairs his lush, shadow-drenched illustrations with scripts from Arnold Drake and Drake Waller, offering a concentrated look at Baker’s distinctive style outside the romance and jungle genres he’s best known for. It’s a compact but essential showcase for fans of classic noir comics and Baker’s enduring visual legacy.
