The original graphic novel published in 1976
"My artistic goal was to make Red Tide resonate in readers' minds with the great detective films they'd seen. I tried to generate the same ambience and atmosphere by incorporating similar icons: urban settings, neon motifs, deco architecture, period automobiles, rainswept streets, claustrophobic offices, exotic nightclubs, reflective glassware, vintage telephones, and, of course, venetian blinds—all visualized in deep shadows and high-contrast imagery. I was looking for the feel and style of The Maltese Falcon, Out of the Past, and The Killers, for example, and hoped to achieve it by mirroring the compositions, the textures, and the visual themes that made those films so memorable."
