About the series
Set in the murky depths of a bustling underwater metropolis, Fish Police was a noir-infused, humor-laced detective series published by Comico from 1988 to 1989. Created and primarily written and drawn by Steve Moncuse, with contributions from Diana Schutz, the 13-issue run followed the grizzled Inspector Gill as he navigated a world of colorful mobsters, femme fatales, and corrupt officials like Chief, Braque, and the slippery Oscar the Octopus. This offbeat series mattered for its unique blend of hard-boiled crime tropes and aquatic puns, carving out a cult niche in the late-80s indie comics scene.
