Red "Rusty" Nales
Created by Christopher Mills and
Joe Staton
His office is in Port Nocturne,
on the corner of Whittington and Rabe, overlooking Widmark. He's
got a gat, a bottle of rotgut and a Murphy bed in his office,
and a client list that ranges from the usual riff-raff right up
to the high-toned folks like K. Burton Smythe of Marlowe Heights.
Yep, he's RED "RUSTY" NALES, the hard-nosed, tough-talking private eye, and easily one of the most name-droppingest P.I.s since Randisi's Miles Jacoby, and if you didn't catch some of the names that were dropped in that last paragraph, you're probably cruising the wrong site, pally.
Complicating Red's life is the fact that his cases frequently have him crossing the path of Port Nocturne's costumed crimefighter and do-gooder Femme Noir, whom he characteristically refers to as "The Blonde." Or is it crossing swords?
The weekly adventures of Femme Noir by Chris Mills and comics legend Joe Staton also appear right here on The Thrilling Detective Web Site in our Web Comics section. Mills is the creator of private eyes Matthew Dain and Nightmark, and edited the late, great noirand Staon co-created classic comic book eye Mike Mauser.
