Description
A tough young woman helps a masked vigilante catch a killer in this gritty, noir reimagining of superhero adventure tales.For over 80 years, the Crimson Wraith has fought crime in Titan City, defending the defenseless against such villains as the Blue Banshee, Queen Cleopatra, the Shadowmaster, Dr. Oblivion, and the Troubadour. But when a murder hits too close to home, he faces a case that he won't be able to solve on his own.Meet Gracie Chapel, a 23-year-old former teenage runaway who has survived the streets of Titan City relying on her wits and fists to handle whatever trouble might come her way. She never expected the Crimson Wraith to emerge from a cloud of smoke and rescue her, much less to need her help in return. Together, they will dig through a mystery with roots going back decades.The Crimson Wraith: Legacy of the Hood takes readers on a journey through costumed crimefighting lore of different ages--the noir detective work of the 1940s, the atomic conspiracies of the 1950s, the madcap antics of the 1960s, the grim realism of the 1970s, and the bold re-imaginings of the 1980s--culminating in the present day and addressing the question of what it means to be a hero.This complete edition includes all four parts of The Crimson Wraith: Legacy of the Hood previously released as ebook novellas.
