So I've wanted to be a writer for like forever, but sort of gave it up temporarily to pursue a career that makes real monies.
But I've really been into writing some of my story ideas lately, especially coming up with stuff to put up top in my Surflocke Investigates blog series.
And now I've written the first three scenes of my very own Noir detective comic. The idea is to make something that is both makes fun of and celebrates the genre and I think I may have gotten it where it has just the right quantity of humor as well as started a pretty good story. But I was hoping for help for things that must go in it. I've already got the femme fatale so check. I'm thinking maybe zombies? Probably some sort of cult. What do you think absolutely has to go into an overly Noir, dark, gritty detective story that is sometimes funny sometimes actiony and sometimes clever dick stuff? Feel free to think over the top.Â
If my friend likes it I think he will do the art, he wants to go to art school for comic book illustration so he needs stuff for his portfolio anyways.
