Iron City, Scarlet Fever

A gritty, one-issue series from 2014, Iron City, Scarlet Fever is a self-contained crime story by writer/artist Joseph Laney. Set in a corrupt, rain-slicked metropolis, it follows a determined detective's obsessive hunt for a mysterious killer. Laney's stark, atmospheric art and hard-boiled narrative make this a potent, standalone snapshot of neo-noir comics.
