In 2009, Marvel Comics created a line of Marvel Noir comics. Taking place in an alternate universe, these stories reinterpreted familiar Marvel Characters to better reflect a hardboiled-crime noir atmosphere, with most of the adventures taking place in the United States during the Great Depression era. The Marvel Noir version of Spider-Man was created by writers David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky, and artists Carmine Di Giandomenico (who drew his first stories) and Marko Djurdjević (who designed his costume). Though he was not called "Spider-Man Noir" in the stories themselves, Marvel creators and comic fans use this nickname to distinguish him from the mainstream version of Spider-Man. The character has similarities to the Spider, a character from pulp-magazines that Stan Lee has cited as an inspiration for the original Spider-Man. In the television adaptation, the character takes on the name "the Spider" The character became popular enough to quickly earn a sequel mini-series later that same year, entitled Spider-Man Noir – Eyes Without a Face and produced by the same creative team, David Hine with Fabrice Sapolsky. This version of Spider-Man Noir was the first to add a fedora hat to his costume. The series address various political topics, such as socialist agitation during the Depression, American fascism, lynchings and racism in the New Deal period, as well as motifs from film noir such as the femme fatale. The villains of the story discuss the theories of Rudolf Kjellen, particularly biopolitics. The second miniseries alludes to Eyes Without a Face, a French horror film of 1960.[6] The art style of the series is similar to Frank Miller's Elektra Lives Again.
