A review by jagussow
Spider-Man Noir by David Hine
5.0
If John Steinbeck wrote a Spider-man comic, it would be this. Aunt May and Uncle Ben preach socialism, Peter Parker seethes at the injustice of the Great Depression and the corrupt ruling class and then along comes a spider.
This was a fun alternative Universe. In some of the other reviews, this was compared unfavorably to 1602 which blows my mind. This book works better and that's because it has the easier task - it only tells a story in a small pocket of the Marvel Universe and 1602 dealt with all of Marvel.
If you're a Spider-man completist, fan of 1930s stories or alternate universes, this is for you. Fun story, great art.
