Set in New York City in 1939, Spider-Man: Noir #1 follows a private detective named Peter Parker, who has both amazing sleuthing abilities and the strengths of his Marvel Earth-616 counterpart. After a fatal shooting at Black Cat's, a bar owned by Felicia Hardy, Peter stumbles upon a clue that will lead him to the killer's' tracks and seems to send him off on a rip-roaring adventure.
