Moonlit London: Victorian Comics Noir

Moonlit Victorian London rendered in bold comic-book style. A full moon dominates a smoky, gaslamp-lit street; heavy inking, high-contrast shadows, and Ben-Day dot shading. The cobblestone road is slick from rain, fog swirls between brick townhouses, iron balconies, and a distant clock tower. In the foreground, a trench-coated detective or vigilante stands under a flickering gaslamp, cloak billowing, revolver gleaming. In the background, horse-drawn carriages, top hats, corseted shop windows, and the silhouette of Westminster’s Gothic spires against the moon. Dynamic panel composition with an overhead moon shot, a close-up of gloved hand gripping a cane, and a wide cityscape with dramatic speed lines. Mood of pulp-noir meets steampunk, using midnight blues, sepia browns, and sickly yellow lamplight; crisp linework, cross-hatching, and Ben-Day dot shading to evoke vintage comic printing.
