The Green Dick: Volume One

By T.W. Ladd

Amid the corruption and squalor of Hyopolis, private detective Roland Nake is working a missing-person case, but now he has become the hunted. Someone doesn't want an eleven-year-old girl found. Clues lead Nake to believe finding the girl may help him discover the truth of his own identity, but is he ready to live with the answers? Hyopolis looks a lot like sunbleached Los Angeles, California circa 1937. The biggest difference is all the magic. There are beasts too, and more crooked cops than you can swing a dead cat at.... In this first volume of the Green Dick, Roland Nake gets tossed around like a ragdoll of the gods. Through fragments and flashbacks he begins to piece together that he's had his memories tampered with, that he wasn't always a detective or green, that he's an alien trapped in the lurid labyrinth that is Kaliphornia. Get ready for weird creatures and bizarre rejoinders, a nutty scientist from a much-advanced Earth also trapped there, Parker the faithful sidekick who is willing to take a bullet in the ass for the team, two Chinatowns, a pair of satyrs, a tree spirit, grenades, things too stupid not to be true, and Pang, the most charming cat in the multiverse.Roland Nake is a hero for our demented times and his world reads like J. K. Rowling got drunk and decided to spin a yarn Raymond Chandler would be proud of, except then Tom Stoppard was called in after she passed out, finishing the thing believing it was meant to be a mashup of Dostoevsky meets Hellboy. Yup. EXACTLY like that! This volume includes Episodes 1 -- 4.
