Incredibile come sia bastato retrodatare di qualche decennio Peter Parker e il suo mondo per renderlo davvero speculare a un supereroe DC come Batman; uno che se rimaniamo nella versione originale del amichevole uomo ragno di quartiere ha poco con cui spartire se non qualche linea guida supereroistica.
Sempre stuzzichevole vedere le solite facce calate in ruoli diversi grazie alla magia del "what if". La parola d'ordine in questo caso è "imbruttimento". La New York proibizionista degli anni 30 è dura e costringe Peterone sia a crescere in fretta che a usare i suoi nuovi poteri. Perché, in questo world building, udite udite lo zione Ben è morto e non è colpa di Spidey. Allora si sparano ragnatele per sete di giustizia e per tutelare i deboli, non per acquietare i sensi di colpa.
Spiderman è vestito di nero, gioca sporco e si muove tra razzismo, alcolismo, prostituzione e droghe. Noir, per l'appunto.
E se la cava benone pure con la pistola.

Inspired by the recent animated film, I looked this out. A fun and well-suited transposition of the story to the 30s, with some interesting takes on familiar characters.

What a fantastic start to the Spider-man Noir story, the story begins suspenseful within the very few first panels to keep the reader hooked. This story is based within 1939 and therefore I like that the story understands the setting of that time, there are mob bosses and their crooks, worries about the war, political protests of the government and so much more that the story looks like it is going to explore.

I really like this story so far, cannot wait to read more. :)

Well done

Spiderman in the 1930's would be more cynical, all I can say is thank you, well done. If you like noir it is worth reading.

Amazing slightly confusing

This comic book is great I’m in aw,David Hine did a great job but the story line got a little bit thrown around but it is still good.

Swift and to the point. And that reveal in the last panel got me hooked.

Excellent read. I love and recommend this and all the Marvel Noir series.







I'm a huge fan of Detective Noir genre. Marvels take on this genre, rewriting the stories to take place in the depression era is brilliant. Excellent reinvention of the stories. Highly recommended.
