J. Atkinson
His calling card is a black bullet. Dressed all in black,
he stood over six feet tall, and has a broad build. He had on a black trench
coat, worn open, black shirt and pants, and a black fedora shadowed a full
facemask, also black. In his fists were two Walther P-38s. A low, menacing
laugh, then “The price of crime is death!”
Robert Steele is the top investigator for the
District Attorney’s office. Gangsters had murdered his relatives in the ‘70s.
His father and grandfather had been The Dark Avenger in their generation. Now
it was his turn. Standing 6 feet four inches, and 210 pounds, he has the build
of a wrestler. He has jet-black hair and his eyes are a cold, piercing gray.
Linda Aldridge is the District Attorney for
Philadelphia. She had grown up with Robert Steele, and knew he was The Dark
Avenger. Carries a Berretta .25 in her purse.
Lt. Richard Bruce is the police official, a
Homicide Detective of the 115th Division. A large man at 43, he had
been a cop for twenty years. Standing 6 foot three inches, he weighed 300
pounds, most of it muscle. He was very agile.
Elwood Jasper is Mayor of Philadelphia.
Henry J. Atkinson works for the Philadelphia
City News. He’s five foot six, with rumpled brown-black hair, under a battered
brown fedora worn cocked back on his head. His wide black tie was twenty years
out of date, and worn loose around his neck. His white shirt is stained and his
pants were hopelessly scuffed at the ankles. His face was weathered, and his
teeth stained by too much coffee and too many cigarettes. He has a raspy and
annoying voice.
The
series is written in Saturday Matinee serial style, with a cliffhanger at end of
each segment.
