Noir at the Bar goes graphic!
Meet Tim Lane (Abandoned Cars) and Matt Kindt (Revolver) as they sign copies of their books as the featured Noirs du jour.
Didn't know there were mashups of hardboileds and graphic novels? Well there are. Lots of 'em. And St Louis has some star writers/drawers.

Reviews from Wired (!!)
Careening between alternate realities every time the clock strikes 11:11, Matt Kindt’s graphic novel Revolver is a subtle exploration of boredom and apocalypse, consumption and survival....

But if you’re on the hunt for a cleverly weighty interrogation of identity and community in an age of omnipresent media, then Kindt’s dystopian Revolver — with its story of a working stiff whiplashing between two wildly different realities — just might be your weapon of choice.

Reviews from Juxtapoz:
“[Tim Lane] makes illustrations in that Brill Cream-soaked, hard-boiled, noir style with heavy hatching circa R. Crumb.”
Onion AV Club:
"The stories take place along a vaguely defined stretch of scenery haunted by the ghosts of Kerouac, Marlon Brando, and Elvis, where visitors can probably hear the distant strains of a Tom Waits song or The Magnetic Fields' Charm of the Highway Strip playing in the background... Lane's art, reminiscent of Charles Burns and Daniel Clowes, but with its own unique dark shadings, remains stunning throughout. Here's one to watch... "
