American comic look
Carved Noircomic style
stark black and white, deep shadows
Where it comes from: Crime noir comics — the high-contrast black-and-white school.
Absolute black and white, figures carved from solid black by negative space — venetian-blind shadows, rain streaks, one lone spot colour at most.
Good for
- crime
- vengeance
- rain-slick city serials
