1 | ''The Talbot Chronicles'' was a short-lived webcomic that mixed the Franchise/UniversalHorror movies and FilmNoir. The protagonist was Larry Talbot, from the ''[[Film/TheWolfMan1941 Wolf Man]]'' movies, who had gone into business as a private eye/monster hunter, trying to make up for his [[TheAtoner involuntary murderings]]. |

5 | !!This webcomic provides examples of: |
6 | |
7 | * TheAtoner: Talbot. |
8 | * ContinuityNod: The villain of the second story arc is almost certainly Elsa Frankenstein, last seen in ''Film/FrankensteinMeetsTheWolfman''. |
9 | * DeadpanSnarker: Talbot. |
10 | * GuileHero: What Talbot eventually evolves into. |
11 | * HardboiledDetective: Talbot, complete with fedora, trenchcoat, and world-weary internal monologue. |
12 | * KarmicDeath: In the comic's first story arc, Talbot [[spoiler: wolfs out on the villain who'd been faking werewolf attacks.]] |
13 | * KnightInSourArmor: Talbot. |
14 | * OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolves follow the same rules as the 1940s movie series, with some fudging to cover inconsistencies. For instance, the movies are inconsistent about whether Talbot becomes a werewolf "when the Autumn moon is bright" or "when the moon is full and bright"; in the comic, it's both: Talbot transforms on full moons, and every night during Autumn. |
15 | * PrivateDetective: Talbot. |
16 | * PrivateEyeMonologue: In the second story arc of the webcomic. |
17 | * ShoutOut: |
