Drawing Noir Comics

To make a comic, use a ruler to draw the frames that will contain the action. Lightly draw your characters into each frame with a pencil, leaving plenty of blank space for dialogue bubbles, narration boxes, exclamations, and background details. If you like, go over the pencil lines with ink once you are satisfied with the layout. How to Draw Noir Comics: The Art and Tech­nique of Visu­al Sto­ry­telling is an instruc­tion­al book based on the cin­e­mat­ic, high con­trast noir style of acclaimed com­ic book and graph­ic nov­el illus­tra­tor, Shawn Mar­t­in­brough.

Crime-stud Brian Azzarello's calling card starts out as a series of disconnected stories where a shadowy agent offers downtrodden individuals a choice. He gives them a murder kit (which includes 100 bullets) and a sort of get-out-of-jail-free-card arrangement if they want to seek revenge on their enemies.

Over the course of its award-winning 100-issue run, the plot evolves into something much grander as links behind all of the murders are slowly revealed.

The femme fatale trope is embodied by Ava Lord as she manipulates a string of men to their dooms in her plot to murder her wealthy husband. It's also a great excuse for a team-up between Marv (the star of The Hard Goodbye) and Dwight (the star of The Big, Fat Kill) who just can't let a woman suffer (even if she's evil.. and lying about her suffering in the first place).

The first Sin City yarn introduces all the hallmarks of Frank Miller's crime series: stark black and white art, an unreliable (and violently deranged) narrator, an unwavering commitment to extreme portrayals of sex and violence, super creepy villains associated with corrupt officials, and a whole boatload of 'booze, broads, and bullets.' Marv's rampage is one of the most memorable in all of comics.
