Hi. Looking for suggestions for graphic novels (non superhero, non fantastic/ supernatural) with a mystery/ whodunnit/ detective theme. Right now I have Sherlock Holmes from Dynamite (is it good?) on my shortlist; any other suggestions?
Thanks

Ed Brubaker's done some great stuff in general, but The Fade Out most fits what you're looking for.
Revelations from Dark Horse is a nice 6-issue mini series.

Go for:
* 100 Bullets
* Sin City
* Chew
* Gotham Central
* Criminal
Ms. Tree: One Mean Mother just came out, and is a highly-regarded film noir-esque, Mike Hammer-influenced mystery series.
Thanks for the tips guys!
Btw, any opinions on Sherlock Holmes by Dynamite, if you’ve read it?
For a Sherlock Holmes character try Ruse from CrossGen and the mini-series from Marvel years later. My favorite story is Cinder & Ashe from DC comics, a Viet Nam vet and his Euro-Asian 'niece'/'daughter' investigate a kidnapping that leads to a political cover-up.
