That makes perfect sense. I see an analogy to Alex Toth, who used black as an actual color not simply to delineate the border between two other colors. Greg Theakston's over-sized b&w reprints of Toth reveal an artistic vision almost entirely hidden behind color. (And of course, "color" in Toth's case meant cheap four-color printing on toilet paper.) Toth could have drawn the still in this thread.
I'm sure I've seen quite a bit b&w work by Toth, haven't I? He could well have been influenced by film noir, since he would have been a teenager when the films started hitting the screen in the '40s.
