Max Roper
Created by Kin Platt

MAX ROPER is an Los Angeles-based operative for EPT (Emergency Procedure Terminus), a nationwide private investigation/security firm run by OJ Barr's that frequently works for big business concerns, as well as doing the dirty work for various local and national government law enforcement agencies when they need some behind the scenes work that will not come back to haunt them.

Frequently, Roper's cases are sports-themed, despite the fact he describes himself as a "half-assed jock," but all in all, it's a rather shallow 1970's PBO series, somewhat reminiscent of Brian Brett or Milo March.

Kin Platt was the newspaper cartoonist for the "Mr. and Mrs" (1947-63) and "The Duke and the Duchess" (1950-54) . comic strips for the New York Herald Tribune syndicate, and wrote several juvenile books.
