Best detective comics (except Bat books)

Can anyone suggest some really good hardboiled/noir/detective comics? The reason I say no Bat books is that I'm reading a lot of them already. I'm looking for something else detectivie though?

The Question is really good. Also 100 Bullets, not really a detective comic but a noir for sure!

@mr_clockwork91: I've devoured Question a bazillion times (its great) and I've read 100 bullets. Ya have anything else? I'm running on empty here lol.

Scalped, Marvel 1602, From Hell, Transmetropolitan, I hear Chew is good, Criminal, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo(Not a comic but highly recommend reading it), Green River Killer. Thats all I got.

@hit_monkey: Pick up Brubaker's Scene of the Crime or Criminal. Hell anything by Brubaker really. Checkout Tumor by Josh Fialkov.

@longbowhunter: Thank you buddy! Will do.

@mr_clockwork91: Cheers, I'll get right on those you said I hadn't already read. Cheers again, pal.

DMZ has some good detective elements, though its more of a drama.

I also recomend Greg Rucka's run on Punisher. It had some nice detective stories too.

Chew is good, though I don't think it's really what the OP is looking for.

• Fell
• Gotham Central
• Grandville
• A History of Violence

• Parker adaptions by Cooke
• Road to Perdition
• Sandman Mystery Theatre
• Scene of the Crime - seconding this

• Stray Bullets - this came back recently
• Torpedo

@billy_batson: Is Road to Perdition anymore different than the movie?

Read the original Sherlock Holmes books from BACK in the day. I have one but I can't seem to find it.

The hound of Baskerville was pretty good

I haven't seen the movie. There have been other installments of it in comic form by the same creator.

Agatha Christine's hercule poirot has an anime/ cartoon adaptation.. Good books most of them, although a lot of people hate her lol

There's currently a Watson and Holmes comic that might interest you and the OP.

@billy_batson: Hmm. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Green Arrow, the Longbow Hunters?

Vertigo released a Girl With the Dragon Tattoo comic.

@jonny_anonymous: Is it any good? And where the hell have I been? lol

I'd recommend Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century, lol. Can't think of any comics atm...

@mr_clockwork91: Check the first issue for free on comixology

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo #1 - Comics by comiXology: Web UK

@jonny_anonymous: Thanks!

@hit_monkey: Look up some of Elongated Man's comics/stories. Some good detective stuff in there.

Also, Detective Chimp!

Cheers for all the suggestions, guys. I'll be getting right on them. :)

Have you read Fatale? It's exactly what you're looking for :)

@testament: I'll get on that pronto, bud. Thank you.
