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

I'm working on a new case. You could help solve it and see your work in my next memoir. Here's a clue... A punk kid rode by on his bike and yelled "Hey Hammer! if you're looking for the truth, you can find it in the ten cent rag It's Pulp-Noir under a dime!". And with that he was gone.

"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."

THE HAMMER UNDERGROUND

This is the Hammer Underground.

Jack Hammer has gone deep underground after receiving a threatening post-it from “The Controller”. Follow him as he tries to out run his reality. This is where stories are written and take form before the go to the HAMMER PUBLISHING presses or the studios at W-HAM-ER RADIO  This is where the Detective work begins.

A grayscale, high-contrast graphic novel panel shows two men, Jack Hammer and Jamie, running through a rain-slicked, gritty city alley at night. Jack, a burly man in a fedora and trench coat, leads, while Jamie, a slightly younger man, runs alongside him, both looking troubled and burdened. The scene is rendered with stark lines and deep shadows, reflecting a pulp-noir aesthetic.

THE DOCKET

Capital Crackdown: Trump’s Iron Fist Grabs D.C. Police

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.
