Overview: “MANVILLE “MANNY” MOON is one of the great series eyes that somehow slipped through the cracks, somewhere between the pulps of the late forties and the he-man crime digests and paperbacks of the fifties.
He’s tough, honest and handy with the wisecracks, as expected, but he’s a whole lot more. He’s undeniably got his roots in the pulps, but he also displays a surprisingly compassionate side that neatly anticipates Lew Archer, Dan Fortune et al. He’s even polite to the ladies.
Part of his empathy no doubt stems from the fact that he’s literally “walking wounded.” He’s got a grim contraption of cork, steel, aluminum and leather, where his right leg below the knee used to be, courtesy of his stint working for Uncle Sam during WWII, and a face a woman once referred to as “a battered Saint Bernard.” His injuries don’t seem to slow him down any, though–other than not being able to run away very quickly, but in true pulp tradition, he doesn’t run away very much. He’s pretty tough.”
