Wolverine Noir

Set in the grimy, rain-slicked streets of 1930s New York, this one-shot from Marvel reimagines the feral mutant as a hard-boiled private eye trapped in a web of corruption and murder. Written by Stuart Moore with moody, expressionistic art by C. P. Smith, the issue strips away the superhero trappings for a stark, noir-infused mystery that feels like a lost pulp novel. It’s a tight, atmospheric experiment from the 2009 Marvel Noir line, offering a distilled take on the character’s savage instincts within a classic crime framework.
