The Damned
Written by Cullen Bunn. Art by Brian Hurtt.
A hardboiled underworld runs on deals with demons.
Overview
Bunn and Hurtt began The Damned at Oni Press in 2006. It borrows the structure of gangland noir, then makes its bosses and debts supernatural.
Why It Matters
The blend gives the familiar crime plot a literal moral economy: favors, violence and second chances always carry a price.
Genre & Themes
Supernatural noir and occult crime adventure.
Art & Visual Identity
Hurtt’s strong silhouettes and period-inflected streets make the demonic elements feel at home in a gangster setting.
