Dark City: The Real Los Angeles Noir

Sale price$60

A visual history of Los Angeles's criminal underside from the 1920s to the 1950s, drawing on newspaper photo morgues, archives, museums, and private collections. Structured across seven chapters, "Down These Mean Streets," "Murder & Mayhem," "Glamourland," "Kooks, Crackpots & Salvation," "Headline Crime," and "Crime & Corruption," the book documents the city's transformation from backwater town to metropolis alongside the organized crime, corruption, and tabloid culture that followed. Includes reproductions of period ephemera, including facsimiles of tabloids Hush Hush and Confidential, and full-scale reprints of vintage magazines True Detective, Look, and Click. Comes in a cardboard slipcase with die-cut bullet holes.
