They still make them.

crime fiction is more of a boomer thing it feels. People under 40 only like crime fiction if it's about an exceptional non-criminal who gets into crime and does it better than career criminals because they're smart

No, but finding GOOD crime noir is nearly impossible. Most of it retreads the same exact shit without any substance or even a sense of visual style. Instead you get webcomci-tier art and pastel colors.

Does 100 Bullets count?
I haven't read it yet, but I know of it.
I'm not trying to answer your question with another question, just in case that wasn't clear. I'm just asking a question that's at least somewhat on-topic.

the dialogue in that thing was so unnatural at times and forced, yet the art, concept and setting was spectacular.

I wish mafia stuff like Goodfellas or Election worked better in comic form, but i feel like the violence and convos just work better in movies. There are some good ones but i normally dislike it because of how tired the art can feel.

If you want to do classic noir, yes. Half of the tropes from noir wouldn't fly in the modern era.

You also just know a queer element would be essential for most publishers to even consider doing a noir story and it won't be as based as Sam and Max
