Rip Kirby - The Faraday Affair - The Formula of Dr. Hicks
Rip Kirby is an American comic strip created by Alex Raymond and Ward Greene featuring the adventures of private detective Rip Kirby. Run from 1946 to 1999, the strip was in the hands of writer/artist John Prentice for more than 40 years.
The Faraday Affair
Chip Faraday falls into Kirby's arms. 'She's beautiful!' remarks Edmond. I think, I'm missing something here. Let me try again. Chip Faraday falls into Kirby's arms, dead! Looks about right.
Someone heard clicking of a woman's hells, running away. The police asks Kirby not to get involved (we know that's never going to happen). Dorian offers her help. Kirby takes her to Barry's Agency where the deceased Faraday worked as a model. One of their employees, a certain Mousey Blake, meets Kirby and gossips for about 342 hours. Montgomery, a famous photographer, offers Dorian a modelling job. Rip and Edmond (that's what they call him in the French versions) visits Montgomery Studio at night. The killer keeps appearing and disappearing in the scene. We only know he has a scar on his wrist. It has been mentioned so many times, we know it must be an important piece of evidence. His next victim, Bud Kittrick, was the lover of Chip Faraday. Someone tries to attack Dorian with acid. Rip visits Mousey Blake and is ambushed by the killer who's been hiding in her apartment. He also gives Kirby a vital clue - yeah, you guessed it right - that he has a scar on his wrist. Now Kirby knows who the killer is!
The Formula of Doctor Hicks
Kirby is invited to deliver a lecture in Norchester University. His intuition tells him the dean needs Rip the detective more than Rip the scholar (we know that already). Dean's daughter Jill is getting married. So, Dorian, Jill's school-friend is also invited. Mr. Thatcher tells Kirby somebody killed his dog. Rip Kirby can't believe he was summoned only to investigate that, and he's right. Thatcher tells him there's also a formula that's missing. The formula of Doctor Hicks is a preparation of deadly virus. In the wrong hands, it can cause total annihilation. As it later turns out, the formula has already fallen into wrong hands. Kirby analyses the organs of the dead dog. Dr. Hicks doesn't believe Kirby is a capable detective. The formula miraculously reappears in Hicks' vault. Kirby, suspecting he's involved, calls cops on him. But it was a mistake. The real killer is still at large. On the wedding day, he comes for a final strike.

Rip Kirby - The Missing Dorian Diamond

The Missing Dorian Diamond - Rip Kirby Comics
The story is about Desmond. He's running for the president of the butler's assoc. 'People are always saying the butler did it,' says Desmond to his chum Wiggers, 'when in fact, he didn't.' Desmond says he wants to 'stamp this sort of thing out', though I don't have the faintest idea how he's going to do that. In any case, bold words may help him bag the votes. They usually do. What upsets the plan is the theft of the Dorian Diamond from a party where Desmond was working as a butler. Next, Desmond disappears. Piltdown, his rival the in the election, tries to convince other members it was Desmond who did it. Indeed, all things pointed to the butler. This puzzles Kirby, but fails to convince him. To get to the truth, he asks everyone to reenact the party scenes. If the thief had an iota of intelligence he wouldn't have risked it a second time. But, as we find out - from the cover, even before we open the book - the thief was Archibald. So it looks plausible. Desmond wins the election, of course. It pleases everyone except the mugger Desmond has bashed with a skillet.
