Artist Robh Ruppel is known for his incredible work on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, Love, Death & Robots, as well as his gorgeous art book Graphic L.A , so MG is thrilled to have him in to discuss the most visually-focused of genres: Film Noir. Over the decades, Noir became one of the most influential movements in movies, with big-budget pictures from Blade Runner to Sin CIty to Detective Pikachu spending millions to replicate its signature vibe. But when it started, these stark visuals were born as creative solutions to low-budget constraints - and Anthony Mann's T-Men is a perfect example: gritty, bleak - and rough in all the right places.
