Style
The series aims for a grimy, dirty look for the most part. However, as the role of colorist changed from Lee Loughridge to Giula Brusco early in the series, the use of color has changed from mostly dusky brown hues to a wider variety of warm tones. Shadows, the desert and the glaring sun are used to emphasize a sort of stifling atmosphere.
It would appear that some of the characters' names are homages to noir prose authors, such as Dashiell himself standing for The Maltese Falcon's Dashiell Hammett as well as Carol Ellroy borrowing her last name from LA Confidential's James Ellroy.

“All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter.... For me “style” is matter.”
