Jack Hammer

Ace Reporter. Private Dick.

Good work. You found my secret file cabinet of personal dossiers.

THE CITY IS ON FIRE. We are under attack. The static is getting louder. I received a message about a safe house, but the location was encrypted.

Then a punk kid rode by on his bike, tossed a crumpled paper at my chest, and yelled:

"Hey Hammer! You're looking in the wrong place! The truth isn't on the front page... it's in the ten cent rag! Find the Pulp-Noir under a dime!"

And with that, he was gone into the smog. Follow the clue. Follow me.

"They say laughter's the best medicine. I guess that's why my doctor told me to quit journalism and start a clown college. But then I realized, most of the clowns are already in politics. And their jokes? Not nearly as funny as the ones I dig up on the daily."

Yours Truly, Jack Hammer.

"I tried to write a story about honesty in Washington, but my typewriter jammed. Must’ve sensed the lie before I did. Around here, truth’s an endangered species—spotted once a decade, stuffed, mounted, and trotted out for campaign season."

Yours Truly,
Jack Hammer.

FLASH: NEWZ BULLETIN: BEFORE THE CENSORS HIT THE SWITCH.

The world is a sick place, and the headlines are just the fever talking. These are the raw, unedited reports I pull straight off the wire, filtered only by my own two eyes and poured through the typewriter. This isn’t just news; it’s a transmission I force through the system before the Controller can sanitize the truth. Every word is a warning from the present. Keep your head down and read fast.

An intense, high-contrast, black-and-white image reminiscent of a 1940s film noir poster. A massive, metallic gauntlet—an "iron fist"—is shown gripping the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building. The texture of the gauntlet is sharp and gritty, with visible scrapes and dents. In the foreground, out of focus and blurred by a newsprint grain, are the silhouettes of a few police officers with their backs to the viewer, looking up at the imposing fist. The overall tone is grim and foreboding.
