Brubaker's comic is titled CRIMINAL and is excellent. The
single issues, still available at most comic shops, contain
prose pieces focusing on noir films, among other things.
There was a good one a couple of issues ago on "The Long
Goodbye" :-)
More good Brubaker can be found in GOTHAM CENTRAL, a police
procedural set in Gotham City. An excellent set of stories
and worth checking out.
There are others to check out as well. Get to the comic shop
and start browsing. Have fun!
