Brian Michael Bendis: Crime Noir Omnibus

Collecting Brian Michael Bendis's early crime work for Marvel's creator-owned imprint, this single-issue omnibus gathers two hardboiled tales: Fire, a tense noir set in the world of arson investigation, and Goldfish, a gritty crime story about a con man and his dangerous past. Bendis writes and illustrates both, showcasing his signature dialogue and shadow-drenched art before his rise to mainstream fame. A concise snapshot of the writer-artist's raw, independent voice, it matters as a bridge between his underground comics roots and his later blockbuster superhero work.
