Pretty sure this is about a spy?

That's like a spy comic. Really not a "crime comic".
I don't see Sandman Mystery Theater on either of those lists. Fix this problem immediately.

I get what you're saying and I appreciate the distinction between crime and spy fiction, but depending on the references you subscribe to, "spy fiction" is either a "theme" of the larger, tripartite detective-mystery-crime genre (see pic) or an outright subgenre of crime fiction.

BOOM! Studios recently reissued the miniseries as a trade paperback. You can also probably find the original Image Comics miniseries in back-issue bins. I'd recommend the BOOM! Studios edition, though, because it has a new epilogue that isn't found in the original miniseries.

Yes it is.

It's prose with art scattered throughout, just because they look like comic panels doesn't make it a comic, you can remove the art entirely and it would still work. That makes it not a comic.

Steranko even calls it a "graphic novel" and ranks it among his comic work. Close enough.

It's a graphic novel in that it's a novel with "graphics" inside it, I don't care what steranko says, it's book of fucking prose. Calling it a comic is disingenuous to people looking for crime comics, you should just tell them to read actual Chandler novels if you're going down the prose road since those are far better.
