Rip Kirby #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the classic Rip Kirby newspaper strips from the mid-1950s, continuing the adventures of the sophisticated detective created by Alex Raymond. The stories showcase Raymond's elegant art style and the series' shift toward more complex, character-driven mysteries.
In "Chapter 1: The Murderous Matches," Rip Kirby takes on a deadly game of deception when a dying burglar's cryptic last words about the "greatest mystery ever" pull him into a high-stakes puzzle. Written by Fred Dickenson and illustrated by John Prentice, this 2013 IDW thriller sees Rip flown to Treasure Haven, a remote southern hemisphere estate housing a vault of stolen masterpieces, where he’s expected to steal the Mona Lisa—only to find his cover crumbling as news of the real burglar’s death spreads. The cover by John Prentice captures the tension with a stark, shadowed portrait of Rip, poised at the edge of a mystery he never asked for.
