Story and art by Ron Miller.

Short mystery tales of a female private eye plus a multi-leveled representation of the more lurid of the 1950s crime comics as if it actually existed as a classic Golden Age comic.

More than a passing homage to the noir films and hard-boiled detective school of writing, it includes vintage ads and special features.
