Rip Kirby - The Hicks Formula (The Official Rip Kirby #2)


Receiving a sudden invitation to lecture on chemistry at his old campus, a perplexed Rip Kirby heads for Northchester University to be reunited with his old mentor. On arrival, it transpires that the real reason for Rip's assignment is to urgently find a stolen formula of bacteriological warfare that already has claimed a victim as the ruthless perpetrator is testing its fatal effect on dogs and students alike...

The former Marine Corps major, Rip Kirby is a scientific detective in the finest traditions of Sherlock Holmes. He possesses a superior intellect and a brilliant wit.

Kirby combines physical violence with worldly wisdom and thorough police procedure to solve difficult cases. He wears glasses, smokes a pipe, plays chess and appreciates both complex music and fine French brandies.
The Hicks Formula (The Official Rip Kirby #2)
Alex Raymond created 'Flash Gordon'' to compete with Buck Rogers. Not stopping there, he went on to create 'Jungle Jimas a rival to Tarzan of the Apes. Raymond also created 'Secret Agent X-9' along with 'Dashiell Hammett' and 'Rip Kirby', a two-fisted but intellectual detective.  Rip Kirby is considered by many to be Raymond's finest effort. It was his last as he dies in an auto accident while still creating the strip. Raymond is considered one of the three greatest comic creators of all time.

Rip Kirby was translated into French, Spanish and many other European languages as well as the in the Asian subcontinent and we all enjoyed Rip Kirby comics all the time.

    1. Most welcome !
      কয়েকটা পাতার লেখা কিছুটা ঝাপসা দেখাচ্ছে - কিন্তু সেটা স্ক্যানের প্রবলেম নয়, অরিজিনাল বইটাতেই ওরকম ছিলো !
