Later this year, the Criterion Collection will release Blast of Silence, one of the best (and bleakest) noirs I've seen in a long, long time. The DVD will feature cover artwork and a four-page comic adaptation by Sean Phillips (Criminal, Marvel Zombies). Phillips gave Wizard.com the skinny, along with the revelation that director/star Allen Baron was also a 1950s-era comic artist.

Your Monday Moment of Noir
"Remembering, out of the black silence. You were born in pain... You were born with hate and anger built in. Took a slap on the backside to blast out the scream. And then you knew you were alive. Eight pounds, five ounces. Baby boy Frankie Bono. Father doing well. Later you learned to hold back the scream, and let the hate and anger out another way..."Blast of Silence
written and directed by Allen Baron
(Universal Pictures, 1961)
Special thanks to Ed Brubaker for turning me on to this forgotten noir classic.
