Lobster Johnson Omnibus, Vol. 1 by Mike Mignola

A hard-boiled, pulp-era vigilante stalks the shadowy streets and back alleys of 1930s America, delivering brutal, stylish justice to mobsters, mad scientists and occult threats alike; the collection assembles his noir-flavored, action-packed adventures that mix vintage detective tropes with supernatural horror, illustrated in moody, cinematic visuals. Episodic and fast-paced, the stories build a mythic origin for a masked avenger whose grim moral code and theatrical flair make him both a feared urban legend and a fierce opponent of the uncanny forces that haunt his city.
