Nightside

    (Marvel, 2001-2002)
™ and ©2001 Marvel Characters, Inc.

The Others is the collective name for all of the vampires, ghouls, werewolves and the rest of the mysterious creatures of legend. They keep to themselves and only come out at night to engage in hedonistic parties. “The Nightside” has come to mean the world of The Others and has been divided into five territories, each with a grotesque boss.

When the police pull “Jelly the Belly,” the 800-pound boss of one of the five territories from the river and find he is completely drained of blood, Sydney Taine is interested. Ms. Taine along with her partner, Ape Largo, comprise the Nightside Detective Agency. Mr. Largo, who holds several degrees and is incredibly strong, likes to brag that he’s the ugliest man alive. Ms. Taine makes no such claims, although slinking around in skin-tight black vinyl is an asset in itself. She’s the leg-man and he’s the muscle in a detective agency where the cases have a propensity for the macabre. “Jelly the Belly” is the third Nightside boss to be murdered this week and The Nightside Detective Agency has been hired to learn who is behind the killings.
