Streeter
Created by Michael Stone
One of the best new eyes of the nineties, Michael Stone's Denver bounty hunter and sometime private eye STREETER is just a pile of exes. He's an ex-linebacker, an ex-accountant, an ex-bouncer, an ex-husband (four times) and an ex-fiancé (three times). And he works out of an ex-church.
Obviously, judging from his record with women, under Streeter's tough battered exterior beats a heart that just can't say "No." And Streeter's at least aware of these contradictions, and as he grows older, he's not above a little worrying about thinning hair, facial age lines, and finding the right woman.
An entertaining series, building on the traditions of the hardboiled genre just enough to have a hell of a lot of fun with them, and a protagonist that is human enough to be more than another swinging dick. Recommended.
And if that wasn'rt enough, the excellent covers, with their
beautiful painted illustrations, by Owen Smith, successfully evoking
the days of the pulps, look darn purty too.
