What's everyone's favorite black & white western comics books? All of mine are of course all of my favorite indie comics (The Walking Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Scud and Infinite Kungfu)

Persepolis, Maus, Zot, and Scott Pilgrim immediately come to mind for me.

My older brother has been reading that one lately. I should ask to borrow it from him when he's done.

My favorite Alan Moore comic. What do you think about it, Dr?

I recently read Beautiful Darkness by Fabien Vehlmann and Kerascoët. You know, I honestly can't remember when I last read a comic that lived up to its title, so well. Beautiful? The water-colored artwork is lovely to look at. As for the "Darkness" part? Yeah, this book is dark alright. Its a story filled with cruel acts, some of them thoughtless, others calculated and deliberate. Not even the kindly, naive heroine manages to stay untainted by all the shit that goes on around her. Great read, its the second comic I've read written by Vehlmann and he's quickly becoming one of my favorite writers in the medium.

Add Parker and Donnie (Criminal Volume 1: Coward) to my list of favorite comic book noir characters (even if Parker is a book adaptation). My favorite noir comics off of the top of my head:

100 Bullets
Criminal
Batman Thrillkiller
Batman Nine Lives
Spider-Man Noir (ok, this is really a stretch)

I'm drawing blanks here, lol.

Does anyone know of any good Spy, Noir and/or Undercover comics? Thanks in advance.

For spy-comics, I'd recommend Queen and Country by Greg Rucka. As for noir? Try Stray Bullets by David Lapham.
