“The Old Farmhouse”

"The Old Farmhouse" kicks off The Detectives #1 (1993) with a sharp, nostalgic nod to the genre’s roots, tracing the evolution of the private eye from Nick Carter to modern-day storytellers. Written by Ed Gorman, the story captures the enduring spirit of detective fiction, spotlighting the timeless appeal of the form as it stands in 1993. The cover, a striking collaboration by Adam Hughes and Myke Maldonado, sets a moody, cinematic tone that perfectly complements the issue’s reflective, genre-savvy approach.
