The Best Noir Comics

Posted on by

Eddie Muller (Host of TCM’s Noir Alley) and Michael Kronenberg (Designer/Artist for the Film Noir Foundation) posted their choices for the Top Ten Noir Comics.  Their list is a good one as you can see above.

I’ve read 8 of their top 10 only missing out on Crime Suspense Stories (their first choice!) and Blacksad.   I’ve heard great things about both and plan to check them out at some point.

My top three (in alpha order) would be:

  • Chandler by Steranko
  • Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson
  • Richard Stark’s Parker adapted by Darwyn Cooke.

If you’re a fan of crime fiction/noir, then check them out.  I’d also add one more.  That would be Frank Miller’s Sin City yarns and I’d start with The Hard Goodbye.
