About the Noir style

Noir comics are about contrast. Deep black shadows, narrow bands of light, rain, smoke and dramatic angles set a tense, moody scene.

The style is black and white, so mood comes from composition and shadow rather than color.

Name the setting and the mood in your idea: rain, a late train, a single lit window. The style does the rest, and you can read the script first to check that the twist lands before spending credits on art.

When to use it

  • Detective stories, thrillers and mysteries.
  • Moody drama and stories told at night.
  • Short, tense scenes with a twist at the end.
