What resources (comics, films, artists) would you recommend for studying the noir style?

For comics, study works by Frank Miller (Sin City), Brian Azzarello & Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets), and Darwyn Cooke (Richard Stark's Parker). For films, watch classics like *The Maltese Falcon*, *Double Indemnity*, and *Touch of Evil*. Artists to study include Raymond Chandler (writer, but his descriptions are incredibly visual), Alex Raymond, and Will Eisner. Analyze how these creators use light, shadow, composition, and character design.
