About this Collection

This 2016 Dover edition reprints the classic 1940s comic strip 'Murder by Remote Control,' a pioneering work in the graphic novel format by writer-artist Carl Pfeufer. The story follows a detective investigating a series of bizarre murders seemingly orchestrated by a remote-controlled device, blending noir mystery with early science fiction elements. This collection preserves the original black-and-white strip art and includes an introduction contextualizing its historical significance as an early example of a complete narrative in comic form.

"Welcome to Maine" is a gripping mystery from 2016, where detective Jim Brady travels to the remote state of Maine to unravel the strange death of Mr. Jones—killed by a remote control airplane. With a sharp eye and a quiet intensity, Brady examines three unlikely suspects: a former exotic dancer, a crippled motorcyclist, and a retired film star, each with secrets buried beneath the surface. The story unfolds in stark, atmospheric detail, with Paul Kirchner handling art, inks, lettering, and cover work—his distinct style grounding the tale in a world where every shadow might be hiding a motive.
