Jack Hammer here. This is where the real case files live. You look like you need answers. I sell the truth, ten cents a file, and don't expect a smile. If I have any hot tips for you, I'll pin them up here on the Bulletin Board. Now pour yourself a drink, and I'll give you the straight dope.

I run a clean shop, mostly. But some bum just ransacked my office and lifted a dozen Hammer File Memoirs from the safe. These files tell the real story, from the shadows to the light. Now some two-bit crook has my case history. It's a job for a new kind of detective. Maybe you?

Slide

The only clue I have right now came from a punk kid who witnessed the crime from the burger joint across the street. He didn't want to talk and tried to dummy up. I had to smack him around a little. Finally he broke and cried "Look Pops! They're on the menu! Sometimes they come double, with cheese!"

Slide

So there you have it. The only clue I have is... "They're on the menu! Sometimes they come double, with cheese!" So if you're on the case with me, stop back and I'll pin any updates I have here on the board. This is I tough nut, but I think we can crack it. If you'er gonna be in town awhile you should...

... have a look around. Maybe take in a flick at the Grindhouse, they have a great Pulp-Noir matinee. Or stop at the Newz Stand for a paper and a girly mag. If your eyes are bad or you're just lazy, they even have a girl who will read for you. Look for the headphones. Stop back, who knows what we'll find.

The Unfiltered Voice of NewzHammer’s Jack Hammer Jack Hammer is more than a writer; he is the relentless, truth-seeking voice of the city’s underbelly.

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.
