" This is a weird book for us,” Brubaker writes in his newsletter, going on to detail how the past year informed the story’s creation. Given that Brubaker and Phillips have routinely captured the hard-boiled tone in works like Criminal and The Fade Out, it will be exciting to see the pair tackle another aspect of film noir with this latest project. The pages capture the eerie, just left-of-center feel of a David Lynch film, while the masked couple headed to a costume ball can’t help but recall the ethereal, dreamlike quality of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. Looking at the preview pages by Sean Phillips and colored by Jacob Phillips (“ the best father-son team in comics,” according to Brubaker), Night Fever looks to be quite the departure for comics’ premier creative duo.
