This is gonna be my #Noirvember movies and comics recommendation thread!
For Day 1, I'm recommending maybe my favorite noir graphic novel, San Hannibal!
A modern take on a detective story, has strange and complex characters, a flawed detective, and plays with color amazingly! https://smile.amazon.com/San-Hannibal-City-Love-Fear/dp/0990568806/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=san+hannibal&qid=1604264617&sr=8-2

I watched Manhandled and it's a pretty fun locked room mystery. It's a bit silly, drags a bit in the middle, and I wish we saw more of Alan Napier, but it's got a good ending!
You can watch the whole thing on youtube! #Noirvember

Day 2 of #Noirvember, I'm recommending The Private Eye!
Noir in a future where everyone's information was leaked, so now everyone needs to wear masks and hide their identities! Wearing masks huh

I forgot to do Day 5 of #Noirvember because things were cray
Detour! A hitchhiker winds up with a dead body, and then gets blackmailed by a conniving woman! Things go downhill from there. It's great and it's on Amazon Prime!

Also for day 6, I’m recommending Quicksand!
One of the best examples of escalating consequences. Guy steals 20$ to take a girl on a date, but the consequences keep catching up and he becomes more desperate! You can watch it on Amazon Prime! #Noirvember

Day 8 of #Noirvember! I'm recommending Murder, My Sweet!
Great lil mystery about a missing girl, some missing jewels, and of course, MURDER! It's got great slang! Dick Powell plays a great Philip Marlow!

Day 8 comic rec: Darwyn Cooke’s Parker.
If you’ve somehow never read the series, Cooke is a master at storytelling. Start with The Hunter! #Noirvember

Day 12 for #Noirvember: Liar's Kiss!
A detective who has a gig being a snoop suddenly has a murder case on his hand when his subject turns up dead! Great detective noir with a killer ending! https://www.comixology.com/Liars-Kiss/digital-comic/18691?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9pdGVtU2xpZGVy

Day 13 for #Noirvember, since it's Friday the 13th, here's a spooky one, Kiss Me Deadly!
Mike Hammer picks up a fleeing woman, and tries to find out what she's running from. A fairly creepy noir with an incredibly unsettling opening!
