About the series
In the hard-boiled world of 1980s Los Angeles, The Beef (Image, 2018–present) follows a pair of mismatched detectives navigating a neon-lit, crime-ridden city where the line between justice and corruption is razor-thin. Written by Richard Starkings and Tyler Shainline with bold, stylized art by Shaky Kane, this five-issue series channels the grit of classic noir through a modern, visually explosive lens. It’s a tight, atmospheric crime comic that stands out for its unapologetically pulpy storytelling and Kane’s distinctive, retro-futuristic visuals.
