Noir Burlesque is a French comic book series by Enrico Marini, taking place during The '50s.After a hold-up gone wrong, a gangster named Slick finds himself deep in the red with the local mafia boss Rex McCinty. But that's not the only thing setting them at odds: they also have their sights set on the same woman, the beguiling Caprice. She's engaged to Rex and headlines his club, where she thrills the nightly crowds. She's off-limits, but Slick has never been one for limits. And he has unfinished business with Caprice, who was once his own sweetheart before the war pulled them apart. After all these years, there's no love lost between them, but that doesn't mean the old spark isn't alive... And now, they're playing with fire. | |

| Noir Burlesque (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: More on the sweet side than the bitter. Rex and most of his gang are dead, freeing Slick from his debt and allowing his sister and nephew to live in peace, with Rex's stolen money being able to set them up for life. However, Slick breaks off his relationship with Caprice for good after she sold his family out to the mob. | |

Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: When Butcher, Rex's enforcer prepares to kill Slick once he outlived his usefulness, Slick invokes this trope to get Butcher to discard his gun and settle things with good ol' fisticuffs. Butcher does, only for Slick to pull out a shotgun from under a nearby table and shoot him dead. | |

Butt-Monkey: Rex's nephew, Sharky. He gets his nose broken by Slick for not understanding an order he made, breaks his wrist when he tried to punch Slick as payback for the aforementioned broken nose, gets judo flipped by Pearl when he tried to kidnap her, gets shot in the ass by Don Zizzi's goons while trying to escape, and Pearl ends up shooting him to death after stealing his gun. | |

Crazy-Prepared: After Butcher kills the counterfeiter on Rex's orders, he prepares to kill Slick as well. However, Slick reveals that he had the counterfeiter keep a shotgun under a table in case a deal goes wrong. While the counterfeiter doesn't get the chance to use it, Slick does. | |

| Noir Burlesque (Comic Book) / int_65b696be | comment |
Fille Fatale: Pearl can pull off the fatale part as well as Caprice despite being a teenager. She easily seduces Rex's nephew Sharky into letting his guard down, only to steal his gun and kill him with it. She also tries to pull this on Slick, though he does not fall for her charms like Sharky did. | |

| Noir Burlesque (Comic Book) / int_729c69f3 | comment |
Politically Incorrect Villain: While on a stakeout with Slick, Rex's nephew Sharky laments about not having the chance to fit in World War II, bragging about wanting to kill Germans (who he refers to as "Krauts"). He proceeds to call African-Americans, homosexuals, and communists as trash. Of course, given who he is, it's implied that he's simply talking big. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: Slick and Caprice ultimately do not get together even after Rex's death, due to the latter revealing that she sold his family out. While Slick lets Caprice go, he takes her car and the money she stole from Rex as compensation and makes it clear that they're through. | |

| Noir Burlesque (Comic Book) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Slick leaves Rex trussed up for Don Zizzi to find when the latter's gang comes storming Rex's hideout, leaving Rex to face his rival's wrath and a dozen bullets in his body. Given that he's a ruthless mobster who harmed countless people, he certainly won't be missed. | |
