Yeah, I'd like to see Nero chase me down on a fire escape. Having the Spider after you though, that would be terrifying.

Imagine Wolfe swapping places with Indiana Jones for that truck sequence!

Among those not named in your tags, I think I spot the Rocketeer, the Phantom Detective, Dick Tracy, and Hercule Poirot.

Is it the Continental Op in the yellow coat? And third from left, hmmmm ... dunno.

That is Dick Tracy in yellow and the dirty old man is the Spider (eek).

Ew, the Spider is creepy as his name.

Of course! Tracy wore the yellow coat in Beatty's version; maybe he also wore it in the strip ... I forget if he did or not.

That's the Spider in disguise, of course. As Richard Wentworth, he was your typical clean-cut good-looking playboy so common in the pulps.

Bwah? No Copperhead from the Mysterious Dr. Satan?

His serial was so good, the Turkish did their own version.

What, no Domino Lady? She'd be my choice to be chased anywhere by!
