“‘Moon Over Harlem’ is a classic film noir kind of story. You have a protagonist who finds himself trapped in a spider’s web of invisible forces that are out to get him, or manipulate him for their own ends. It’s a dark story; and Luke Cage is such a wonderfully hard boiled character. It’s great fun to watch him fight (and think) his way out of his predicament… He’s been reinterpreted several times… and kind of cut loose from his roots. But in our story, the Luke Cage Noir character is very grounded in the Prohibition Era of gangsters, speakeasies and segregation. And in a funny way he’s actually closer to the original ’70s conception of the character.”

The artist for this is Shawn Martinbrough, who knows a thing or two about the noir style.
