Back In Black

Fairsquare Graphics’ Noir Is The New Black season two issue #2’s campaign is on Kickstarter for another five days and here’s a few details about how people can support this cool project…

Story

After its triumphant return with Season 2 Episode 1, the Noir Stories by Black creators anthology is back, once again…

Back in 2020, the original Noir is the New Black graphic novel broke the internet with a massive $48000 raised on Kickstarter and close to 1200 backers. In June 2025, we successfully kicked off the second season of our best selling anthology.
You enjoyed it? Good. Now, the thrilling collection continues here with Season 2 Episode 2!

📖 THE STORIES

You know the drill now, this season of Noir Is the New Black is all about continuing stories. So, just like last issue, get a new installment of:

• THE WINTERFIELDS by Joe Illidge and ChrisCross.
Cain Winterfield and his son are on the run. They’re also on a mission: protect a young girl from being a target.

 WHAT’S IN A NAME? by Tyrone Finch and Todd Harris.
The story of a man living undercover and whose life is going to be altered by a bank robbery he’s not even asked to be apart of…
A new tale reuniting the creators of “Vera’s List” from the original Noir Is the New Black who also are Hollywood powerhouses!

• LITTLE ROCK FILES by Greg Burnham and Quinn McGowan.
Nothing is really as it seems in Little Rock Files . After an explosive chapter in S02E01, Greg and Quinn get Detective Ousley closer to the truth about Kevin’s murder. But who will survive this?

🎨🧑🏾‍🎨🧑🏾‍🎨THE COVERS

Once again, we came with four exceptional covers by Fiddler Sneaky, ChrisCross, Quinn McGowan and superstar guest artist Jamal Igle (whose cover is also available as holofoil variant)!

THE CREATIVE TEAMS

Greg’s credits include SUPERMAN, THE MILESTONE INITIATIVE and his creator-owned titles: TUSKEGEE HEIRS and SEARCH FOR SADIQQAH. He comes back to Noir Is the New Black to continue the story started in LITTLE ROCK FILES#1.

– Quinn McGowan, Greg’s partner on LITTLE ROCK FILES is an artist from Tennessee. He’s no stranger to Noir Is the New Black as he illustrated a story called “Heat of the Night” in the original anthology. He also developed his own comics including PROJECT WILDFIRE.

His credits include series like AVERAGE JOE, STATION 19 and BATMAN: CAPED CRUSADER!

He worked on JOHN WICK, MUFASA, THUNDERBOLTS, SHANG-CHI or SINNERS to name a few. And he’s now producing/show running the EYES OF WAKANDA show for Marvel! Todd’s art on the initial anthology was brilliant. And he’s back with his writing partner Tyrone for “What’s In a Name” as our bonus story!
