About the series
A taut, neo-noir mystery from DC's mature-readers line, Scene of the Crime follows a Los Angeles private eye navigating a missing-persons case that unravels into a web of family secrets and urban decay. Written by Ed Brubaker with stark, atmospheric art by Michael Lark, this 1999 limited series distills the grit and melancholy of classic crime comics into four tightly wound issues. It stands as an early, essential collaboration between two creators who would go on to define the modern crime-comic genre.
