Spider-man Noir - Eyes Without a Face
Title
Spider-man Noir - Eyes Without a Face
Library Link
Spider-man noir : eyes without a face / writers, David Hine with Fabrice Sapolsky ; art, Carmine Di Giandomenico Hine, David.
10 Second Review
Set in the mid-forties, the Spider-man must deal with gangsters, hooligans and a masked crime boss named 'Crime Master.' A mad doctor tries to impress the Nazi's with his experiments.
The 'noir' books take main-stay Marvel characters, subtract their powers and plug them into a Prohibition Era crime story. The story is generic but it is fun trying to spot Marvel alter egos.
Notes
Apparently, it is always night-time in the Marvel 'Noir' world.
Learning Curve
Low: Good for new readers but only fans will catch the superheroes references.
