muttonglutton: Is Alan Moore's V for Vendetta in your stack? If not, go get it. It's the best noir comic book ever made, and I'd put it ahead of Watchmen--not noir, but well worth reading--as Moore's best.

Also, Film Noir Pulp is a good description. Film noir cribbed it's content chiefly from, you guessed it, pulp fiction novels of the 20's and 30's like The Shadow, and detecive pulps like Sam Spade and Lew Archer.
